MiniTest 650
The rugged coating thickness gauge MiniTest 650 follows its long-time proven predecessor model MiniTest 600 in the line of gauges with a fixed external probe offering measurement of all non-magnetic coatings on steel.

It was especially designed to work in rough environments as well as on on abrasive surfaces, e.g. shot-blasted steel, plasma spray coated surfaces.

Enables 1-point and 2-point calibrations.

Coating Thickness Gauge LAYERCHECK 700 FN


Model 700 FN & universal probe (FN) with automatic measuring technique for measurements on all non-magnetic coatings on steel and all insulating coatings on non-ferrous metals.

Including probe for measurements :
  • on steel (measuring range 0 - 2,000 µm )
  • and on on non-ferrous metals (measuring range 0 - 2,000 µm ),

with statistics, two-point calibration, readings in microns or mils at choice, backlight display and interface RS 232







The LAYERCHECK 700 FN provides the magnetic induction principle as well as the eddy-current method.
The combined probe enables the measurement of appropriate coatings on the base material steel as well as on non-ferrous metals.
The automatic mode for the universal probe ensures the correct measuring method regardless of whether the base material is a ferrous or non-ferrous metal.
The instrument recognizes automatically and indicates the type of substrate.
The probe should be held by the spring-mounted sleeve.
This ensures a safe and stable positioning and a constant contact pressure.
The hemispherical tip is made of hard and wear resistant material.
The integrated interface RS 232 of the LAYERCHECK enables the data transfer to a PC.
Software Msoft7000 basic edition (german/english/french) for data transmission (only used for statistics version) available free of charge at download
