Paint Thickness Gauge 0-2000 µm with Flexible Probe and Backlit Display, Blue Technology

Quick Facts – Blue Technology Paint Thickness Gauge

• Brand: Blue Technology
• Model: P-10-S-AL
• Measuring range: 0–2000 µm
• Probe: Flexible ball probe on 80 cm cable
• Substrate: Steel, galvanised steel and aluminium with automatic recognition
• Response time: 0.3 seconds, up to 3 measurements/second
• Display: Backlit
• Power supply: 9V battery, included with purchase

The Blue Technology P-10-S-AL measures paint thickness between 0 and 2000 µm and is built to deliver reliable results on steel, galvanised steel and aluminium. The flexible ball probe on an 80 cm cable makes it possible to reach hard-to-access surfaces such as door pillars, wheel arches and roof edges. The gauge is aimed at car workshops, detailing studios and reconditioning staff who need to document paint layers ahead of valuation or quality control.

Automatic substrate recognition identifies the material instantly, reducing the risk of incorrect settings between measurements. With a response time of 0.3 seconds, the gauge manages up to three measurements per second, making it quicker to check an entire body shell. The backlit display keeps results legible even in a dark workshop bay.

The unit is powered by a 9V battery included with purchase, and calibration plates are included for quick adjustment before use. See more paint assessment products are available in our range for those who want to complete their equipment.

Key benefits of the Blue Technology Paint Thickness Gauge

The benefits of the paint thickness gauge are clearest when inspecting used cars and repair work. The flexible probe and wide measuring range make it possible to check paint layers on both flat surfaces and hard-to-reach curves without removing parts. Automatic substrate recognition saves time compared with gauges that require manual settings for each material type.

Where the Paint Thickness Gauge performs best

• Inspection of used cars before purchase or sale
• Quality control after paint repair or bodywork
• Documentation of paint layers during reconditioning
• Checking for hidden damage on door pillars, wheel arches and roof edges

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the Blue Technology P-10-S-AL paint thickness gauge work on plastic parts?

No, the Blue Technology P-10-S-AL paint thickness gauge is intended for steel, galvanised steel and aluminium. Plastic parts such as bumpers and spoilers require a gauge with different measuring technology, as the principle does not work on non-metallic surfaces.

How often should the Blue Technology P-10-S-AL paint thickness gauge be calibrated?

We recommend calibrating the Blue Technology P-10-S-AL paint thickness gauge before each use, using the supplied calibration plates. This ensures the readings remain accurate regardless of which car or substrate is being checked.

What sets the Blue Technology P-10-S-AL paint thickness gauge apart from other paint thickness gauges?

The Blue Technology P-10-S-AL paint thickness gauge stands out thanks to its flexible ball probe on an 80 cm cable, which gives access to curved and hard-to-reach areas that fixed probes cannot reach. Combined with automatic substrate recognition and a response time of 0.3 seconds, it offers a faster workflow than many simpler gauges on the market.
