SI9560 Formed Tube Probe

For non-destructive coatings measurement on formed tubes, monobloc bottle cans and aerosol cans

The Formed Tube/Aerosol Probe is used with a dedicated high frequency version (SI9600HF) of Sencon's Coating Thickness Gauge to measure the internal and external coating thickness (film weight) on aerosols or long tubes with very small diameters. Instead of having to cut the tubes open and use the time consuming weigh-strip-weigh method, you can obtain instant results about coating distribution inside formed tubes and aerosols in a non-destructive and repeatable way with excellent R&R.

  • Non-destructive testing of formed tubes
  • Instant results - no strip-weighing
  • Dead weight balance applies careful but consistent pressure on delicate tube walls
  • Minimum internal tube diameter: 13.5 mm
  • Maximum internal tube length: 220 mm

Designed for maximum accuracy and ease of use

If coating weight measurements suffer from a degree of variation, operators have to err on the safe side when applying coatings in order to be sure that target weights are met. Therefore a percentage of unnecessary coating is always being applied. With reliable measurements from Sencon's coating thickness probes, the coating process can be brought under tighter control. Even a small reduction in coatings usage will quickly deliver a return on investment, saving money and raw materials.

SPECIAL VARIANT COATINGS GAUGE REQUIRED

The SI9560 Formed Tube & Aerosol Probe is used with a special variant of the COATING THICKNESS GAUGE. Dedicated SI9600HF coatings gauge uses a higher frequency test current which is needed for the smaller surface area of the probe tips. Contact Sencon for details.
