Designed for durability and ease-of-use, the IPX-206FN enables fast, accurate readings of non-magnetic coatings on steel and insulating coatings on non-ferrous metals. With storage for grouped measurements, clear backlit display, and auto detection of substrate type, it simplifies inspection workflows.

INSPEX IPX-206FN Coating Thickness Gauge

With intuitive operation and rugged build, INSPEX IPX-206FN combines FN technology, an integral probe, and automatic substrate detection to deliver reliable thickness readings. Its ability to store 99 grouped measurements and visible LCD backlight make it well-suited for outdoor or poorly-lit environments.

Features

FN-Probe Integration

Measures coatings on both ferrous and non-ferrous substrates using a single “FN” probe, reducing the need for separate tools.

Integral Probe

The probe is built into the unit (non-detachable), which simplifies use and reduces the risk of damage or loss.

Large Backlit LCD Display

Improves visibility under low-light or outdoor conditions; makes data reading easier and more reliable.

Storage of 99 Measurement Groups

Allows grouping of readings to organize data by sample, location, or inspection batch. Enhances data management and later review.

Automatic Substrate Recognition

The gauge automatically detects whether the substrate is ferrous or non-ferrous, so the correct measurement principle is applied.
