SaluTron D1 Coating Thickness Gauge (Cable Probe)

The SaluTron D1 is a portable dry film thickness (DFT) gauge with a cable probe for reliable measurements on coated parts—especially on delicate or hard-to-reach surfaces. With interchangeable probe tips, it measures coatings on both ferrous (Fe) and non-ferrous (NFe) substrates, making it suitable for paint, enamel, Teflon and similar industrial finishes. Why measure coating thickness?
• Keeps coating quality consistent and within specification.
• Supports process control and traceability during production.
• Helps reduce paint consumption, rework, and scrap.

  • Cable probe design for comfortable measurement on complex geometries and sensitive surfaces.
  • Interchangeable probe tips to match the substrate and application.
  • Automatic substrate recognition for correct Fe/NFe measurement mode.
  • Measurement range: 0-2000 µm (Fe) and 0-800 µm (NFe).

Designed for reliable DFT checks in painting, plating, and protective-coating processes
