Description

The Linshang LS220 car paint thickness gauge checks coatings on steel and aluminum body panels during vehicle inspections. Its integrated ruby-tipped probe measures 0–5000 µm and automatically selects the Fe or NFe substrate mode.

Compare panel readings with material indications

Hall-effect measurement is used for non-magnetic coatings on ferrous metal, while eddy current measurement is used for non-conductive coatings on suitable non-ferrous metal. The gauge also provides non-metal, ferrous-putty and galvanized-iron indications.

Thickness readings and material prompts are aids to inspection. They do not establish a vehicle's accident history, and a non-metal indication does not mean the gauge can measure paint on plastic or carbon-fiber panels.

Measurements and Bluetooth records

Connect the LS220 to the Coating Thickness Gauge mobile app by Bluetooth to record results and generate reports for saving or sharing. The app supports Android and iOS.

Screen rotation can be enabled for a different reading orientation. When rotation is enabled, the short button press rotates the screen instead of opening recent measurement records. The instrument retains up to nine recent readings.

Zero-adjust on an appropriate clean, uncoated substrate when material, batteries or ambient conditions change. Keep the probe perpendicular and steady, and lift it between point measurements. Keep the surface clean and compare multiple suitable panel locations.
