Description

The Linshang LS237 car paint thickness gauge combines a rechargeable battery, integrated ruby probe and rotating display for vehicle-panel inspections. It measures coatings from 0 to 5000 µm on ferrous and aluminum substrates and connects to a mobile app through Bluetooth.

Follow the reading and substrate indication

The gauge identifies the substrate and provides indications for ferrous putty, galvanized iron and non-metal panels. Its backlight and button indicator use three colors to show thickness bands or a ferrous-putty prompt.

Use these indications alongside measurements at several suitable locations. Paint thickness and an indicator color alone do not establish accident history, and the gauge does not measure paint thickness on non-metal panels.

Rotating display and rechargeable power

Enable display rotation when a different reading orientation is useful. With rotation enabled, a short press rotates the display instead of opening the recent-reading list. Bluetooth supports mobile inspection records and reports that can be saved or shared.

The built-in 3.7 V, 1200 mAh lithium battery charges through a USB Type-C port. The instrument weighs 76 g including its battery and measures 101 x 62 x 28 mm.

Display 128 x 48 dot-matrix LCD
Charging and data USB Type-C charging; Bluetooth data transfer
Units µm / mil

Keep the paint surface and probe clean. Make point measurements with the probe perpendicular to the panel, lifting it between readings. Perform the appropriate zero adjustment when the substrate or measurement conditions change.
