The NexPTG Standard Plus from NexDiag measures paint thickness with an accuracy of 10 μm and transmits the results directly to your phone via Bluetooth 4.0 LE. The ball-type probe (movable tip) means the gauge performs equally well on flat panels and curved bodywork, which is a common limitation with simpler gauges. The tool suits both private individuals who want to check the paintwork on a used car and workshops that carry out vehicle inspections on a daily basis.

The gauge automatically identifies the substrate – steel [Fe], galvanised steel [Fe+Zn] or aluminium [Al] – and interprets the result accordingly. Up to 300 readings can be stored in the memory before syncing with the NexPTG app for iOS and Android. More vehicle diagnostic tools are available in our range.

What Makes NexPTG Standard Plus a Strong Choice for Vehicle Inspections?

NexPTG Standard Plus is a strong choice for vehicle inspections thanks to the combination of a ball-type probe, automatic substrate recognition and Bluetooth transmission to your phone. The gauge delivers stable results on both flat panels and curved bodywork, which is essential when assessing paint condition. Reference point measurement makes it easy to compare original and repaired surfaces directly in the NexPTG app.

Where NexPTG Standard Plus Performs Best

• Checking paint thickness before buying a used car
• Inspection of accident-damaged vehicles before and after repair
• Quality control at reconditioning workshops and car care companies
• Documentation of paint thickness during vehicle brokering

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the NexPTG Standard Plus from NexDiag work on painted plastic parts?

No, the NexPTG Standard Plus is designed to measure paint thickness on metal substrates such as steel, galvanised steel and aluminium. The gauge does not identify plastic or composite materials, so it is not suitable for plastic vehicle parts without a metal core. On bodywork made from the supported substrates, the NexPTG Standard Plus delivers reliable readings within the 0–1000 μm range.

How is measurement data from the NexPTG Standard Plus stored and transmitted?

The NexPTG Standard Plus stores up to 300 readings in its internal memory before syncing to your phone. Transmission takes place wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.0 LE to the NexPTG app, which works on Android 5.0 or later and iOS 11 or later. The batteries supplied last for normal daily use before they need replacing. More products for professional car care are available in our range.

What sets the NexPTG Standard Plus from NexDiag apart from simpler paint thickness gauges?

The NexPTG Standard Plus from NexDiag stands out thanks to its ball-type, movable probe, which measures accurately even on curved surfaces, whereas many simpler gauges only work on flat panels. Automatic substrate recognition and basic coating analysis (SAPL) also provide more reliable interpretation of results. The Bluetooth connection and memory for 300 readings make the gauge more efficient for documentation compared with models without wireless transmission.
