HW400 Coating Thickness Gauge for Car Anti-skid Paint and Metal Plating Measurement

The HW400 coating thickness gauge is a practical tool for measuring the thickness of paint, enamel, chrome, and anodized coatings on metal surfaces. Designed for non-destructive use, it is ideal for car anti-skid coatings, metal plating, and general industrial applications. It automatically detects the properties of the substrate on steel, aluminium, and copper, making it straightforward to use in manufacturing, metal processing, or chemical industries. With a measurement range of 0 to 2000 micrometres and an accuracy of ±3 micrometres, this gauge provides reliable readings for quality control and surface treatment.

Features and Construction

The HW400 is built for durability and ease of use, with a compact form that works in labs, workshops, or outdoors.

Material and Build

The gauge body is made from ABS plastic, a material known for its strength and light weight. This makes the instrument portable and resistant to everyday wear in busy work environments. Its design is simple and functional, with a clear display for reading thickness values.

Size and Practical Fit

At 50 by 25 by 125 millimetres, the gauge is small enough to hold in one hand and store in a tool kit. The package measures 147 by 58 by 43 millimetres, and the total weight including packaging is just 120 grammes, so it is easy to carry between job sites.

Measurement Range and Accuracy

The device covers a thickness range from 0 to 2000 micrometres, suitable for most common coating layers like paint, enamel, and chrome on steel or anodized coatings on aluminium and copper. Accuracy is specified as ±3 micrometres, giving you dependable readings for consistent quality checks.

Uses and Placement

This coating thickness gauge is built for practical tasks in various settings, from professional industrial use to DIY automotive work.

Industrial and Manufacturing Use

In metal-processing and chemical industries, the HW400 helps verify coating thickness on components. It works non-destructively, so you can inspect finished parts without damage. Its operating temperature range from -10 to 50 degrees Celsius allows use in both warehouse and outdoor environments.

Automotive and Car Care

For car anti-skid paint or bodywork repairs, this gauge lets you measure paint thickness on steel, aluminium, or copper substrates. It is useful for checking that coatings meet specifications before or after application.

Laboratory and Workshop Use

The device is stable enough for lab use but also robust for workshops. It automatically detects the substrate type, reducing the need for manual calibration changes between steel, aluminium, and copper.

Benefits and Buying Value

The HW400 provides practical value through its straightforward operation, durability, and measurement capability.

Nondestructive Measurement

The key advantage is non-destructive testing: you can measure coatings without altering or damaging the product. This saves time and material compared to destructive methods.

Simple Setup and Portability

Powered by two standard AAA batteries (not supplied), the gauge is ready to use without complex setup. Its light weight and compact size mean you can take it anywhere, from the lab to the shop floor.

Why Choose This Product

The HW400 gives you a reliable, accurate thickness measurement tool for coatings on metal. With support for multiple substrate types and a wide measurement range, it addresses common quality assurance needs in manufacturing, automotive, and finishing industries.
