Helmut-Fischer COULOSCOPE® CMS2 and CMS2 STEP

Helmut-Fischer COULOSCOPE® CMS2 and CMS2 STEP

Benchtop instrument for measuring coating thicknesses and electrochemical potentials using the coulometric method.

 

Coulometric coating thickness measurement for quality control.

Above a certain coating thickness, using X-ray fluorescence to measure coating thicknesses non-destructively will reach its limits. This is where the COULOSCOPE® CMS2 comes into play. Use the coulometric method to measure the coating thickness of almost all metal coatings precisely and reliably by electrolytic layer detachment. Additionally, the STEP test method can be used to determine the thickness of different layers of coatings. These easy-to-use benchtop devices offer maximum flexibility, as they can be used for a wide range of coating-substrate combinations.
