QC5 C

Use a QC5 C coating thickness gauge to obtain precise and repetitive thickness measurements of dry coatings and platings applied over Ferrous and Non-Ferrous substrates. The DMQ combined probe recognizes the type of base automatically so that you can concentrate on measuring.

Other QC5 features include 9 calibration modes, calibration memories, a continuos measurement mode and much more.
