TQC Sheen Super PIG III Destructive Coating Thickness Gauge

The TQC Sheen Super PIG III is a high-precision paint inspection instrument developed to measure single-layer or multi-layer dry film thickness using a destructive method in paint and coating systems. It provides reliable measurements on a wide range of substrates, including wood, plastic, metal, and composites, delivering critical data for quality control processes.

The instrument creates a controlled cut on the coating surface, allowing detailed examination of layer thicknesses using an integrated microscope. It enables individual evaluation of each layer in multi-coat paint systems and offers significant advantages in surface defect analysis. Thanks to its built-in LED illumination and high-precision focusing system, measurements can be performed quickly, clearly, and reproducibly.

Used in accordance with ISO 2808 and ASTM D4138 standards, the Super PIG III is widely applied in paint, coating, automotive, marine, metalworking, and corrosion protection industries. It is especially valuable in multi-layer coating systems where electronic thickness measurement methods are insufficient, making it an essential tool for R&D and quality control laboratories.
