High-Precision Coating Thickness Tester

The CEM DT-156 is a dual-technology instrument that automatically selects between magnetic induction and eddy current methods to measure coating thickness. It handles non-magnetic coatings on steel, insulating coatings on non-ferrous metals, and non-ferrous metal coatings on insulating substrates. The device features a menu-driven system with DIRECT and GROUP working modes, plus one-point, two-point, and basic calibration options.

Quality Control & Inspection Professionals

This tester suits quality control technicians, automotive inspectors, and maintenance engineers who need verified coating thickness readings on mixed metal substrates. The USB interface supports PC software for data logging and reporting. Buyers requiring an included English manual or supplied batteries should look elsewhere, as the standard package provides neither and batteries must be sourced locally due to shipping restrictions.

Automatic Dual-Method Measurement

The defining specification is the automatic selection between magnetic induction and eddy current measurement techniques within a single instrument. This capability determines whether the DT-156 can handle the specific combination of coating and substrate materials encountered in the intended application without manual probe changes or mode switching.

Questions about this item

Does the DT-156 run hot or make noise during all-day coating inspections?

The DT-156 is a handheld tester with no fan or moving parts, so it stays silent and does not generate noticeable heat during extended use.

What must I supply myself before the DT-156 will operate?

The standard package excludes batteries due to air-shipping restrictions; you need to buy compatible cells locally before first use.

Can I transfer readings from the DT-156 to an older laptop that only has USB-A ports?

Yes, the DT-156 includes a USB interface for PC software, so it connects to legacy USB-A ports with a standard cable.
