Information about the device
Device description
The deviceBB20 is used to determine the coating thickness on
ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metal surfaces. The
measuring device functions according to the magnetic induction
principle (for coatings on ferromagnetic surfaces) or the
turbulent flow principle (for coatings on non-ferromagnetic
surfaces).
The BB20 is a compact and versatile device suitable for quick,
precise and non-destructive measurements of coating
thicknesses.
