Overview
The CHY 88G is a high-precision, portable thickness gauge designed specifically for the automotive industry. It uses magnetic induction and eddy current principles to measure the thickness of coatings (like paint, lacquer, or plastic) on both Ferrous (Iron/Steel) and Non-Ferrous (Aluminum) metal surfaces. Whether you are inspecting a vehicle before purchase or ensuring quality in a paint shop, this tool provides instant, non-destructive results.
Key Features
Dual Metal Detection: Automatically recognizes the substrate—works on both steel frames and modern aluminum car panels.
Accident Detective: Instantly highlights thick layers of paint or body filler (Poteen), indicating past repairs or accidents.
Auto-Calibration: Comes with calibration foils to ensure your readings remain accurate over time.
Large Digital Display: Clear, backlit LCD that shows readings in microns (μm) or mils.
One-Handed Operation: Ergonomic “trigger” design makes it easy to scan an entire car body in minutes.
