Moisture /Thickness Meter

What is moisture and thickness gauge?

moisture and thickness gauges are measuring instruments that use absorption characteristic of infrared rays to measure moisture, constituent, film and coating thickness, etc., online and non-contact.

Chino offers infrared moisture and thickness gauges that can be used for moisture measurement on manufacturing lines, as well as for measuring the thickness of films and coatings, and for measuring organic content and other constituent.

For more information on the principles of measuring moisture, constituent, and thickness using infrared light, please see "What is infrared measurement?". For the basics of moisture measurement, please also see "What is moisture?".

Choosing moisture and thickness gauge

The appropriate moisture and thickness gauge varies depending on "what you want to measure." First, clarify what you want to measure and the quantity you want to measure, then confirm the required measurement range and method.

Measuring moisture

This system continuously and non-contacts moisture content of materials and products on the manufacturing line. The model is selected according to the measurement target, moisture range, and required accuracy.

IRMA Series

Measure the thickness and amount of coating.

This system measures the thickness of films, coatings, and other materials according to the type of material being measured and the desired thickness range. It also supports continuous online measurement.

Measure other constituent and substances

By utilizing absorption characteristic of infrared rays, it is possible to measure constituent other than moisture, such as organic matter and alcohol solvent concentration, depending on the target.

Please refer to the measurement feasibility chart for constituent or substances you wish to measure. If you have any questions regarding measurement feasibility or specifications, please contact us through the inquiry form.

Can be used in environments with a pressure of explosion proof Pressure Rating explosion proof specifications We also have those.
