Efficient & Versatile MeasurementThe Metravi CTG-01 accommodates both ferrous and non-ferrous substrates, allowing accurate measurement of various non-magnetic coatings such as paint, enamel, or chrome. Its broad measuring range and high-resolution output ensure precise results in automotive and industrial environments, enhancing quality control and inspection processes.
User-Friendly and Portable DesignCompact and lightweight (about 100 grams without battery), the CTG-01 can be easily carried and used in various settings. Its manual control mode, immediate response time, and backlit digital LCD display make it straightforward to operate for both experts and beginners, even in low-light conditions.
Reliable Performance in Harsh ConditionsThe CTG-01 is constructed to work reliably in diverse environments, tolerating storage temperatures between -10C and 60C and humidity from 20% to 90% RH. Its auto power-off and low battery indicator further enhance device longevity and dependability, making it suitable for extended fieldwork.
FAQ's of Metravi CTG-01 Paint & Coating Thickness Meter:
Q: How do I use the Metravi CTG-01 to measure coating thickness?
A: Place the probe of the CTG-01 firmly against the coating on your ferrous or non-ferrous metal substrate. The device will immediately display the thickness reading on the digital LCD. Ensure the surface is larger than 6 mm in diameter and that substrate thickness meets the minimum required for accurate measurements.
Q: What types of coatings and substrates can I measure with this device?
A: The CTG-01 is suitable for measuring non-magnetic coatings (like paint, enamel, or chrome) on ferrous metals, as well as insulating coatings on non-ferrous substrates. It works with materials such as steel, iron, aluminum, and similar metals.
Q: When should the batteries be replaced in the CTG-01?
A: You should replace the two AAA batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the LCD display or after approximately 100 hours of continuous use. Using fresh batteries ensures reliable and accurate measurements.
Q: Where can the CTG-01 be used effectively?
A: Due to its robust design and broad environmental tolerance, the CTG-01 can be used in industrial plants, automotive workshops, quality control labs, and on-site inspection points. It operates within temperatures ranging from 0C to 50C and handles high humidity (up to 90% RH).
Q: What is the process for switching between ferrous and non-ferrous modes?
A: The CTG-01 can automatically detect whether the substrate is ferrous or non-ferrous when you place the probe on the surface. The device then selects the appropriate measurement mode, ensuring correct and accurate readings every time.
Q: What benefits does the CTG-01 offer for regular inspections?
A: Its immediate response time, high accuracy, and portability improve the efficiency and reliability of routine paint and coating inspections, reducing manual errors and supporting fast decision-making.
