BGD 548 is a paint inspection gauge which is suitable for use wherever conventional electro-magnetic measuring techniques are ineffective, namely for coatings on wood, concrete, plastics and other non-metallic substrates.

Testing with the BGD 548 is based on the standardized wedge cut procedure: The coating is cut through at a defined angle in such a way that the cut penetrates the substrate. The layer thickness (s) is calculated on the basis of the slope projection (b) of the cut face, determined using a measuring microscope, and the cutting angle (α),Similarly, the individual layer thickness of multilayer systems can be ascertained.

The BGD 548 consists of a black painted aluminium block which accommodates the following functional elements:

◆ Exchangeable carbide tip with precision-ground angular cutting blade (come with 4 cutters)

No.1 Cutter:   Measuring range: 20-2,800μm（Factor: 20 μm）

No.2 Cutter:   Measuring range: 10-1,400μm（Factor: 10 μm）

No.3 Cutter:   Measuring range: 5-700μm（Factor: 5 μm）

No.4 Cutter:   Measuring range: 2-2,80μm（Factor: 2μm）

◆ Measuring microscope with a magnification of 30 and a reticle(2.8mm with 1/140 division), which is also suitable for inspection tasks.

◆ With two wheels design let cutting working is more stable and uniform.

◆ Battery compartment for 1.5 V battery block.

◆ Combination of LED and fibre-optic light guide for optimum specimen illumination at low current consumption.

It complies with ISO 2808-6B，ASTM D 4138，AS 1580 Meth 408.1
