Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between FE and NFE coating measurement?
FE refers to ferrous substrates (like steel or iron), while NFE refers to non-ferrous substrates (like aluminum or copper). Gauges like the Kern TG 1250-0.1FN are designed to handle both material types.
2. How does an ultrasonic thickness meter work?
Instruments like the Kern TN series use ultrasonic sound waves to measure the time it takes for a signal to pass through a material and reflect back, allowing for precise thickness calculation without damaging the sample.
3. What is the maximum measurement range for Kern ultrasonic meters?
Range varies by model; for example, the Kern TN 300-0.1US can measure thicknesses up to 300 mm, while more compact units like the TN 80-0.1US are optimized for thinner materials up to 80 mm.
4. Can these instruments be used on curved surfaces?
Yes, many Kern gauges with external sensors are specifically designed to provide stable readings on various surface geometries, including pipes and curved components.
