Bottle Thickness Gauge

Our Bottle Thickness Gauge allows manufacturers to test the thickness of non-iron materials, including glass, plastic, aluminum, titanium, and composites without sample deformation.

The Bottle Thickness Gauge, based on the Hall Effect Principle, measures wall thickness by placing a small steel ball on one side of the test material and the magnetic probe on the opposite side. The probe’s Hall Effect sensor measures the distance between the probe tip and the ball, instantly displaying a thickness reading. Its size and straightforward operating procedure make it suitable for use either in a laboratory or on a manufacturing line.

Powder Coated Steel Work Tables and Cabinets

Our Powder Coated Steel Work Tables and Cabinets continue to outperform all other options, and are customized to your specific needs. We offer several accessories for the storage of supplies, monitors, CPUs, shelves, power strips, and printers. Our engineers review every design our team generates, and they evaluate its usability from a comfort perspective.

Powder coatings are solvent-free enamels manufactured using a 3-step process. The powder coating is applied to the part or component by electrostatic spraying equipment. In a subsequent curing process, the powder coating is melted and chemically cross-linked at substrate temperatures of 302 to 392 °F (150 to 200 °C).

Powder coating began as an industrial surface finish in the 1960s and continues to develop as the technology has many advantages.

  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Good resistance to corrosion
  • Easy to clean
  • Protective and decorative
  • Comprehensive range of colors

We have a dedicated powder coating line that operates on two shifts daily to make sure all frame surfaces are sealed and look excellent.
