Product description

The Kern & Sohn Coating Thickness Gauge - FE External Max 100 µm |, 1250 µm d=, 0.1 µm |, 1 µm is a precision instrument designed for accurate measurement of non-magnetic coatings on ferrous materials such as iron and steel. It offers two measurement ranges—100 µm for standard applications and 1250 µm for thicker coatings—delivering high resolution of 0.1 µm and 1 µm respectively. The gauge includes an Offset-Accur function for precise two-point calibration, improving accuracy to approximately 1% of the measured value.

Key Features:

Brand: Kern & Sohn
Measurement Range: 100 µm (standard) and 1250 µm (extended)
Resolution: 0.1 µm (up to 100 µm), 1 µm (above 100 µm)
Accuracy: Approximately 1% of measured value with Offset-Accur two-point calibration
Measuring Units: Selectable between µm and mil
Data Interface: RS-232 for data transfer
Power: Battery operated with Auto-Power-Off for energy saving
Application: Ideal for coating thickness measurement and quality control in automotive, manufacturing, and industrial sectors
Design: Compact, durable, and user-friendly for reliable performance in demanding environments

Scope of Supply: Coating thickness gauge, external sensor, base plate, calibration foils, and carrying case.

This Kern & Sohn coating thickness gauge is an essential tool for professionals who require precise, efficient, and reliable coating inspections to maintain high-quality standards.

Burette vs Pipette: Key Differences and Which to Use

This guide explains the practical difference between a burette and a pipette, two instruments that are often confused because both dispense measured volumes of liquid, but that are built for genuinely different jobs. It breaks down how a burette's stopcock and full-length graduated scale let an operator dispense a variable, watched volume and stop the instant a reaction reaches its endpoint, versus how a pipette (volumetric, graduated or micropipette) is built to transfer one known or pre-set volume in a single action. Rather than presenting the two as competing options, the piece frames them as complementary tools tied to different steps in a procedure: burettes for titration and any reaction where the target volume isn't known in advance, pipettes for sample preparation, dilutions and any step where the volume is already fixed.

Top 5 Brands for Graduated Cylinders in 2026

This guide compares the five graduated cylinder brands most commonly used across Australian laboratories: Hirschmann Laborgeräte (DURAN® glass), Kartell (PMP plastic), ISOLAB Laborgeräte, BRAND (BLAUBRAND®) and VITLAB. Rather than treating graduated cylinders as interchangeable, it breaks down what actually separates them, Class A versus Class B accuracy tolerances, glass versus plastic construction, base stability and certification standards such as USP conformity, and explains which of these differences genuinely matter depending on the work.

Top 5 Brands for Erlenmeyer Flasks in 2026

This guide compares the five Erlenmeyer flask brands most commonly used across Australian laboratories today: DWK Life Sciences (DURAN®), ISOLAB Laborgeräte, LLG Labware, BRAND and Kartell. Rather than treating all Erlenmeyer flasks as interchangeable, it breaks down what actually separates them in practice, wall thickness consistency, thermal shock resistance, neck and closure compatibility, and material choice between borosilicate glass and polypropylene, and explains which of these differences matter for which kind of lab work.
