Hall Effect Thickness Gauge – Magna-Mike 8600

Hall Effect Thickness Gauge with the Magna-Mike 8600

The Hall Effect Thickness Gauge – Magna-Mike 8600 is designed for non-destructive measurement of non-magnetic coatings on ferrous substrates. Utilizing the Hall Effect principle, it measures thickness by detecting magnetic flux variations between a probe and a target (typically a small steel ball). Ideal for field or lab use, this advanced thickness gauge delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable results for materials such as plastic, enamel, paint, or chrome coatings—up to 25 mm thick. With digital display, extensive data logging, and robust design, the Magna-Mike 8600 is a reliable solution for industrial quality control and inspection.

Key Features of Hall Effect Thickness Gauge with Magna-Mike 8600

Hall Effect Principle: Measures coating thickness by detecting changes in magnetic flux between a probe and a steel target.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Accurately assesses coating thickness without damaging the surface.

Wide Material Compatibility: Ideal for non-magnetic coatings like paint, powder coating, plastic, enamel, or chrome over ferrous substrates.

Precision Accuracy: Delivers highly accurate results, typically within ±1–3% of the actual thickness.

Digital Display: Features a full VGA color LCD for clear, easy-to-read measurement results.

Advanced Data Logging: Onboard data logger with alphanumeric file support and removable 2 GB MicroSD card.

User Calibration: Supports zero and two-point calibration for enhanced accuracy and repeatability.

Portable & Ergonomic: Handheld and lightweight with robust construction for use in both field and laboratory environments.
