Magnetic Induction Instruments (Integrated Measurement Probe)
Magnetic Induction Method
The excitation current in the measurement probe generates a low-frequency magnetic field that is amplified by the magnetic substrate material corresponding to the coating thickness to be measured. The signal of a measuring coil that registers this amplification is converted to a coating thickness value using a probe characteristic that is stored in the instrument.

Applications
• Electroplated coatings of zinc, chromium, copper, etc. or
• Plated or sputtered nonmagnetic coatings, or
• Paint, powder coating, varnish on steel or iron.

Eddy Current Instruments (Integrated Measurement Probe)
Eddy Current Method
The excitation current of the measurement probe generates a high-frequency primary magnetic field that induces Eddy currents in the substrate material. The resultant secondary magnetic field weakens the primary field. This effect is a measure for the distance (= coating thickness) between the probe and the substrate material, and is converted to a coating thickness value using a probe characteristic that is stored in the instrument.

Applications
• Paint varnish or plastic coatings on nonferrous metals, e.g., aluminum or stainless steel
• Anodized coatings on aluminum

Dual Handheld Instruments (Integrated Measurement Probe)
The DUALSCOPE® MP0R is used to measure non-ferrous-coatings (e.g. chrome, copper, zinc) on iron and steel as well as paint, lacquer, enameled or synthetic coatings on iron and steel or on non-ferromagnetic metals.

Depending on your application, you may use either the magnetic induction method or the Eddy current method.

Magnetic Induction Instruments (for use with Smart Probes)
The rugged DELTASCOPE® FMP30 hand-held instrument is ideal for users who need a separate magnetic induction unit with full measurement storage, downloading and printing capabilities.
The individual probe is automatically recognized. Application specific calibration parameters are stored in the probe, therefore the instruments are immediately ready to measure after connection of any probe.

The DELTASCOPE® FMP30 uses the magnetic induction test method according to DIN EN ISO 2178, ASTM B499.

Applications
• Electroplated coatings of zinc, chromium, copper, etc. or
• Plated or sputtered nonmagnetic coatings, or
• Paint, powder coating, varnish on steel or iron.

Eddy Current Instruments (for use with Smart Probes)
The rugged ISOSCOPE® FMP30 hand-held instrument is ideal for users who need a separate eddy current unit with full measurement storage, downloading and printing capabilities. The ISOSCOPE® FMP30 is capable of storing 10,000 measurements in 1,000 blocks in up to 100 applications.

An auto averaging feature reduces the effect of surface roughness on the measurement data range. The individual probe is automatically recognized. Application specific calibration parameters are stored in the probe, therefore the instruments are immediately ready to measure after connection of any probe.

The ISOSCOPE® FMP30 uses the eddy current test method according to DIN EN ISO 2360, ASTM B244. It is ideal for measuring:

Non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous metals such as paint, lacquer, synthetics on aluminum, copper, brass, zinc and stainless steel

Anodic coatings on aluminum (non-ferrous substrates)

Dual Handheld Instruments (for use with Smart Probes)
The DUALSCOPE® FMP20 uses both the magnetic induction and the eddy current test method. It offers an economical solution if applications call for measurements on ferromagnetic and on non-ferrous materials and if there is no need for hard copy documentation. It will automatically recognize the material to be measured and utilize the appropriate test method.

The DUALSCOPE® FMP20 allows the user to interchange a wide variety of Fischer Smart Probes for different applications.

The DUALSCOPE® FMP20 is ideal for measuring:

Non-ferrous metal coatings (e.g. chromium, copper, zinc etc.) on steel and iron

Paint,lacquer and synthetic coatings on steel and iron

Non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous metals such as paint, lacquer, synthetics on aluminum, copper, brass, zinc and stainless steel

Anodized coatings on aluminum

One-step measurement of the individual thickness of a paint/zinc coating system (duplex coating)on steel.

Application Specific Probes (Smart Probes)
Standard Smart Probes

The probe supplies a measurement signal relative to the coating thickness. Proper probe selection and the quality of the probe determine the accuracy of the measurement for any particular application.

Within the FISCHER System, every smart probe works with every instrument (provided that the measurement method of probe and instrument are the same). This unlimited ability to combine allows the operator to cover diverse measurement applications simply by changing probes.

This Product grouping features a selection of available probes including magnetic inductive, eddy current inductive and dual measurement probes.
