3 MEASURING DIFFERENT MATERIALS
The unit does not require re-calibration for use with different materials. This equipment will
measure materials of a thickness between 2mm to 20mm where access can be achieved to
both sides of the product being measured.
3.1 Materials that can be measured.
Non-ferrous materials of any density will return an accurate reading within the limits of the
device. Materials that can be measured include all non-ferrous materials such as:
• Plastics of any density or composition
• Foamed materials
• Laminates
• Fibreglass
• Carbon Composites
• Glass
• Aluminium
• Brass and copper
The K-METRON allows the roto moulder to measure the full thickness of MULTI-LAYER
mouldings.
3.2 Materials that Cannot be Measured.
The unit cannot be used to measure any kind of ferrous materials, e.g. steels & irons. The
magnetic attraction found in these materials will affect the accuracy of the reading.
3.3 Measuring Non-ferrous Metal Parts.
When measuring the thickness of non-ferrous metal parts (e.g. aluminium or copper) ensure
that there is no movement of the magnet during the measurement. The figure of 8
movement for these materials should be made to centre the magnet to the sensor head
but should be stopped once centred and before the measurement is taken.
