The 6000IP Series General Purpose Coating Thickness Gauge is a precise, rugged tester designed to measure coating thickness on ferrous and or non-ferrous metals accurately and quickly using magnetic and eddy current principles.
The 6000-IP’s Integral Probe design offers maximum convenience and simplicity allowing for one-hand use, eliminating the external probe and cable which can be cumbersome in certain applications.
The 6000IP is available in Standard (1) or Advanced (3) configuration. The standard model has a monochrome display, 250 reading memory and USB data output. The Advanced model adds a high contrast color LCD display, Scan Mode, Real-Time Graphing Bluetooth output and more.
