QC5 Series

Advanced Coating Thickness Gauges

Fast, accurate and versatile

Get accurate measurements on ferrous and Non‑ferrous substrates and if you work with both materials get faster results with the automatic base type detection feature.

Obtain measurements on complex parts using our mini probes or our extended range probe.

With 9 calibration modes, statistics, graphics and a memory for 32000 readings the QC5 is the most advanced option
