MP0
DUALSCOPE® MP0 Pocket-Size
Coating Thickness Gauge

by Fischer Technology


Easy, high-precision coating thickness measurements over ferrous & non-
ferrous metals.
Cutting-edge, pocket-size instruments with built-in probe.

The smallest coating thickness gauge can be the greatest for your measuring application.
 

The new DUALSCOPE® MP0 offers proven Fischer coating thickness probe technology. It measures coating thickness with high precision. It is user-friendly and sturdy. It is ideal for uncomplicated, reliable, on-site applications. With its integrated measurement probe, it measures the thicknesses of coatings quickly and non-destructively utilizing the magnetic induction as well as the eddy current method.

The DUALSCOPE® MP0 automatically recognizes the material type of the coated substrate material such as aluminum or steel, and selects the appropriate measurement method. Important statistical values are displayed via the statistics function.

With its superior repeatability, precision and standard-conforming calibration function, the DUALSCOPE® MP0 is unmatched in its class.

 
Features & Advantages

  • Measurements on all metallic materials (steel and iron or nonferrous metals).

  • Instrument automatically recognizes the substrate material under the coating and selects the appropriate measurement method.

  • Excellent repeatability and precision.

  • Low influence of permeability, electrical conductivity and geometry of the substrate material (curvature, thickness, etc.)

  • Patented conductivity compensation of the reading (eddy current method).

  • Small enough to make reliable measurements even in hard to reach areas.

Ideal for Daily Use

  • Immediate measurements without calibration.

  • One-point calibration for severe changes in shape or substrate material.

  • Easy-to-perform zero-point correction (normalization) for applications with little changes in shape and substrate material.

  • Statistics functions for display of mean value, standard deviation, MIN, MAX.

  • Quick, one-hand operation: Place instrument on specimen and see the measured value.

  • Two backlit LCD displays for readings in all instrument positions, even overhead.

  • Automatic On/Off function.

  • Durable, rugged housing and hard-material coated probe.

  • Low weight: only 132 g (4.7 oz) including batteries.

Additional Functions

  • Measurements with the "free-running display" mode for continuous scanning of surfaces, e.g., in tank construction.

  • Memory for 1000 readings.

  • Acoustic and optical measurement capture signal.

  • Units of measurement selectable in μm or mils.

  • Low Battery warning message
