Description
Description
View paint-thickness readings from the front or top of the Linshang LS236 gauge while checking different vehicle panels. The instrument combines a front LCD with a top OLED display and measures coatings from 0 to 5000 µm on steel and aluminum substrates.
Two displays for different viewing positions
Both screens display the measurement. The front LCD supports reading in bright light, while the top OLED is designed to remain readable in low-temperature conditions. The specified instrument operating range is −40 to 50 °C.
The integrated ruby probe automatically identifies Fe or NFe substrates. The instrument also provides ferrous-putty, galvanized-iron and non-metal indications. These prompts support comparisons between panels; they do not establish a vehicle's repair or accident history.

Readings, color prompts and Bluetooth reports
The three-color backlight can be enabled or disabled. Its color prompts help distinguish thickness bands, but vehicle finishes vary, so a color alone is not a universal pass/fail assessment of the paint.
Bluetooth connects to the Coating Thickness Gauge mobile app for recording inspections and saving or sharing reports. Screen rotation is available; with rotation enabled, the short button press rotates the display instead of opening recent records.

Measure on suitable metal panels; identifying a non-metal panel does not measure its paint thickness. Zero-adjust on the appropriate clean, uncoated substrate when required, keep the probe steady and lift it between individual measurements.
