Description
Description
Place a small external probe in a confined vehicle area while keeping the reading in view with the Linshang LS238 car paint thickness gauge. Its cable-connected probe supports coating measurements on steel and aluminum around pillars, door openings and engine-compartment panels.
A small probe for restricted access
The probe measures 64 x 15 x 11 mm and needs a measuring area at least 15 mm in diameter. It uses a ruby tip, Hall-effect measurement on ferrous substrates and eddy current measurement on aluminum.
The LS238 provides substrate, ferrous-putty and galvanized-iron indications, plus three-color backlight and button prompts. A non-metal indication does not measure paint thickness on plastic or carbon fiber. Evaluate the indications together with panel readings and other inspection information.
Single readings, continuous checks and reports
Use individual point readings for location-by-location inspection. Continuous measurement provides readings about every 0.5 s and displays the maximum and minimum when the sequence ends, helping compare thickness across a suitable area.
Bluetooth connects the gauge to its mobile app for inspection records and report sharing. The built-in lithium battery charges through USB Type-C. Screen rotation is available; with rotation enabled, the short press rotates the display instead of opening recent readings.

Keep the surface clean and the probe steady and perpendicular. Zero-adjust using a suitable uncoated substrate or the matching reference plate when material or ambient conditions change. Thickness readings alone do not determine a vehicle's accident history.
