Eddy current thickness gauges
Eddy current
— devices, the operation of which is based on the fact that the sensor, using an alternating electromagnetic field, induces special currents in the metal under the paint — the so-called. vortex. Such currents create their own electromagnetic radiation, their power — and, accordingly, the power of secondary radiation — depends on the distance between the sensor and the metal, that is, on the thickness of the paintwork. Devices of this type can be used with any conductive materials, but it is believed that they work best with non-ferrous metals (in particular, aluminium).| eddy current | clear | Save List |
