TRIPLETT CTT47 Coating Thickness Tester
The TRIPLETT CTT47 is a digital coating thickness gage designed for measuring paint or plating on both ferrous and nonferrous metal substrates. It offers a measurement range from 0 to 53 mil with a resolution of 0.004 mil. The device stores up to 500 readings and includes a USB cable for data transfer.
Sustained measurement accuracy and data handling
Accuracy is specified at +/- 2.5 percent across the full range, providing consistent results during extended inspection sessions. The internal memory holds 500 records, allowing batches of measurements to be captured before offloading via USB. Magnetic induction and eddy current methods operate without moving parts, so performance does not drift with prolonged use.
Magnetic and eddy current method limits
The magnetic method applies only to ferrous metals while the eddy current method covers nonferrous metals; neither works on non-metallic substrates. Calibration standards for aluminum and iron are supplied, but the unit does not carry a certified calibration certificate. Proposition 65 warnings indicate the presence of chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
How much power does the CTT47 draw during all-day use?
The gauge runs on an internal battery; no mains power or external supply is needed for continuous operation.
What must I already own to start measuring with the CTT47?
The kit includes calibration aluminium, calibration iron, precision standards, a soft carrying case and a USB cable, so no extra accessories are required.
Will the CTT47 work on the older steel panels I still have in the shop?
Yes, the magnetic testing method measures both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, covering the older steel panels you keep.
