Blue Technology DX-13-S-FE Paint Thickness Gauge

The Blue Technology DX-13-S-FE is a professional paint thickness gauge designed for measuring coating thickness on ferrous metal substrates such as steel and galvanized steel. With a measurement range of 0–2000 µm and an integrated probe, this device is ideal for automotive, industrial, and quality control applications. The LCD display with backlight ensures easy reading in various lighting conditions, while the LED measurement assistant provides visual feedback on coating status (green/yellow/red). Automatic shutdown after 2 minutes of inactivity preserves battery life.

Advantages

High accuracy and resolution, automatic zeroing calibration, sound signals for measurement confirmation, and a compact design for easy handling. The device supports both micrometers and mils units.
