DELTASCOPE° FMPI 0 and FMP30 For the measurement on ferrous base materials (F), e.g. paint, lacquer, powder coating, chrome, copper, zinc, as well as enamel or plastic coatings on steel and iron.

ISOSCOPE° FMPI 0 and FMP30 For the measurement of point, powder coating, lacquer or plastic coatings on non-ferromagnetic metal base materials (NF) or anodic coatings or aluminum and electrically conducting coatings on nonconducting car-rier materials.

DUALSCOPE° FMP20 and FMP40 Due to automatic base material recognition and the integration of both measurement methods, these uni-versal instruments are capable of measuring coatings on steel and iron (F) and on non-ferromagnetic metals (NF). Duplex coatings (lacquer/zinc) on steel can be measured simultaneously with the values of the lacquer and zinc coatings displayed individually.

Features of the FMPI 0 and FMP20

Instrument features

For magnetic induction and eddy current probes
Automatic base material and probe recognition
Easy-to-use with intuitive menu
large controst-rich colour display
Memory for up to 1,000 readings
USB interface
Instant measurement upon probe placement
Audible signal with measurement acquisition
Easy adaptation to the shape of the specimen through a zero-point correction (normalization)
Easy to perform corrective calibration (verification of accuracy’
Sliding cover to protect keys against unintentional operation
Various language settings

Measurement strategies and evaluation

Single reading acquisition
Measurements with the “free-running display” mode for continuous scanning of surfaces
Statistical display of significant values such os mean volue, standard deviation, min, mox, range

The portable FMP I 0 and FMP20 represent precise measurement technology and are ideal for samples and control measurement. These user-friendly and stur-dy instruments can be adapted to all requirements of coating thickness measurement using exchangeable measuring probes. The most significant statistical val-ues are displayed and can be stored together with the calibration in the instrument, ensuring quick and reli-able operation.

Measurement strategies and evaluation

Stored sexilicotions for measurements according to IMO PSPC, 55PC-PA2, OU/UANOD and CtUAUCOM
Capability to enable matrix measurement mode for correlated multi-point measurements
Averaging of measurement dote: Only the moan ✓alue of seisesl leading, will be stored
Measurement acquisition through area measure-men: Single readings are captured until probe liftoff and averaged
Outlier rejection settings for automatic elimination of erroneous measurements
Pico-running display with additional presentation of the reading os on analog bar between the Seance limits
5.011ACS display of the most significant values in the Nock and final resuhs. Output of vorionce-ono lyticol values
Graphical measurement display os o histogram
Capability of entering pecan tolerance limits and computation of the associated process cocobility indices Cp and Cpk,

The FMP30 and FMP40 instruments feature additional more memory for numerous customer specific measuring applications as well as extensive graphical and statistical evaluations. Tolerance limits can be entered into the calibratable measuring applications and the production process can be analyzed statistically.

Versatile Probes Program and Ordering Information

Probe program The extensive selection of FISCHER probes is as versatile as the measurement applications of our customers. A probe needs specific properties for each field of appli-cation for achieving best results with a high accuracy. Over 70 probes can be connected to the instrument family FMP I 0 to FMP40. Thus, you can solve even the most sophisticated measurement tasks.

Probe selection based on several criteria

Material combination of coating and base material
Thickness of coating and base material
Dimension of the measurement area
Shape of the specimen
Surface condition of the measurement area
