Training in working with paint gauges and coating of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
The CEM DT-157 Professional Thickness Meter is a paint and coating thickness gauge for iron and other metals based on the two principles of electromagnetic induction and eddy current. Electromagnetic or ultrasonic thickness gauges are used to determine the thickness on metals (FE), especially steel and non-metal (FE none) without damaging, cutting or breaking. Thickness gauges are widely used in the industry and are produced in different types. Reputable brands such as Elcometer, Bentech, Mastech, UNI_T, UNI_T are working in this field. .
Appearance of the CEM DT-157 key and thickness gauge screen
This model of metal thickness gauge company CEM DT-157 from an LCD screen equipped with white backlight and four-way keyboard, power button and a compartment and battery cover on the back of the device and thickness gauge sensor at the bottom of the thickness gauge And a separate thickness measuring probe in the DT-157H model. Which you can see in the figure below.
In the following, we will examine the signs in the following figure, which are examples of measurements made by the thickness gauge device.
The number 1.85 is the measured thickness and mm is the unit of measurement of the device. The phrase 4 Group is one of the 51 operating modes of the device and the number in parentheses, which is zero here, means the number of data measured in this group.
It should be noted that when the device is in Group0 mode, it is not possible to store the measured data, but in other cases the device is able to store 50 data in each mode, which in total is able to store 2500 data.
DEL at the bottom of the page means deleted measured data that if you press the right button the measured data will be deleted. If you press this button repeatedly, the measured data will be deleted altogether.
For example, if you have 10 data stored in Group4, pressing this button ten times will delete all ten data. FE means that the device uses the magnetic induction method to calculate the thickness for the iron body. If NFE is displayed, the target you are trying to measure is non-ferrous metal. The two rotating arrows also indicate the FE or NFE auto tuning mode.
