Perfect for all applications

• DELTASCOPE® MP0R and PERMASCOPE® MP0R-SK: Measures non-magnetic coatings such as paint and plating over steel or ferrous substrates.
• ISOSCOPE® MP0R: Measures insulating coatings on nonferrous metals (e.g., paint or anodic coatings on Al).
• DUALSCOPE® MP0R: Measures coatings on all metallic materials (ferrous and nonferrous metals). DUALSCOPE® models automatically recognize the substrate material under the coating and selects the appropriate measurement method.
• Reliable measurements. Low influence from permeability, electrical conductivity and shape of the substrate material.

Made with the user in mind

• Ergonomic design.
• Simple one-hand operation: place instrument on object and read the measurement.
• Fast, menu-driven parameter setting.
• Automatic On and Off function, time variable.
• Miniature size for measurements even in areas with limited accessibility.
• Robust and long-lasting design.
• Light weight of approx. 3 oz (without batteries).
• Warning message for low battery voltage.

Optimal measurement display

• Two LED displays allow view of readings from all instrument positions.
• Backlit LED displays: To extend the battery life, display light can be turned off manually or automatically.
• Acoustic and optical indications at completion of measurement.
• Acoustic and optical indications when upper or lower specification limits are exceeded.

Additional instrument functions

• Ready to measure immediately without alibration. Calibration required only for significant changes in shape or substrate material.
• ZERO button for quick normalization to the respective shape of the measurement location (Eddy current method).
• Conductivity compensation of the reading (Eddy current method).
• Calibration with only one coating standard allows for a precise adjustment to different shapes or substrate materials.
• Outlier monitoring to eliminate readings of erroneous measurements.
• Display units selectable between μm and mils.
• Measurements with continuous display mode for continuous scanning of surfaces (e.g., in boiler fabrication).
• Freely selectable offset value for an automatic subtraction of constants (e.g., for a known pre-coating).

Evaluation and measurement data management

• Statistical evaluation at the push of a button: Arithmetic mean value; standard deviation, number of readings, smallest and largest value of a test series.
• Upper and lower specification limits.
• Storage space for max. 1,000 readings.
• Measurement, normalization and calibration data are stored in the memory at all times even without battery (MP0R USB Version)

Eddy Current Method per DIN EN ISO 2360

The excitation current of the measurement probe generates a high-frequency primary magnetic field that induces Eddy currents in the substrate material. The resultant secondary magnetic field weakens the primary field. This effect is a measure for the distance (= coating thickness) between the probe and the substrate material, and is converted to a coating thickness value using a probe characteristic that is stored in the instrument.

Applications:

• Paint varnish or plastic coatings on nonferrous metals, e.g., aluminum or stainless steel.
• Anodized coatings on aluminum

Magnetic induction method per DIN EN ISO 2178

The excitation current in the measurement probe generates a low-frequency magnetic field that is amplified by the magnetic substrate material corresponding to the coating thickness to be measured. The signal of a measuring coil that registers this amplification is converted to a coating thickness value using a probe characteristic that is stored in the instrument.

Applications:

• Electroplated coatings of zinc, chromium, copper, etc. or
• Plated or sputtered nonmagnetic coatings, or
• Paint, powder coating, varnish on steel or iron.
