LANDTEK CM-8820 coating gauge
The LANDTEK CM-8820 is a magnetic induction coating thickness meter designed to measure non-magnetic layers on ferrous substrates. It provides digital readings up to 2000 µm for materials such as paint, plastic, enamel and galvanised coatings on iron or nickel. The instrument meets the ISO 2178 standard and uses a micro-computer LSI circuit with a crystal time base for high accuracy. Its ABS housing is shaped for comfortable single-hand operation in laboratory or field conditions.
Quality inspectors and metal finishers
This gauge suits quality inspectors, automotive refinishers and metal fabricators who need to verify dry film thickness on steel structures or galvanised parts. It is not for users who must measure coatings on non-magnetic substrates such as aluminium, copper or stainless steel. Buyers requiring documented calibration certificates or data-logging capability should look at other instruments. The device also does not serve applications needing ultrasonic measurement through multiple coating layers.
0-2000 µm measuring range
The single specification that decides suitability is the 0-2000 µm measuring range on magnetic base materials. If the expected coating thickness falls outside this window, the meter cannot return a valid reading. The ISO 2178 compliance confirms the measurement principle for ferromagnetic substrates only. Verify the maximum dry film thickness of your process against the 2000 µm upper limit before purchase.

Questions about this item
How do I set up the LANDTEK CM-8820 for measuring paint on steel, and what step is often missed?
Power on the gauge, select the ferrous (F) mode, then calibrate on the supplied uncoated iron reference plate before measuring; users often skip this zero-step and read high.
What part of the CM-8820 will need replacement after extended field use?
The ABS housing is rated maintenance-free for years; only the probe tip may wear and require replacement if the contact surface becomes scratched or deformed.
At what thickness does the CM-8820 reach its measurement ceiling on galvanised layers?
The gauge stops reading at 2000 µm; any coating thicker than that will display the maximum value rather than the true thickness.
