The Demeq Hall Effect Thickness Gauges, also known as Magnetic Thickness Gauges, are high-precision instruments designed for measuring the thickness of non-ferrous and non-magnetic materials. Combining accuracy, portability, and ease of operation, these gauges provide a fast and reliable solution for wall thickness measurement in applications where traditional ultrasonic methods may not be suitable.
Capable of measuring material thicknesses up to 22 mm, the instruments are widely used in manufacturing, quality control, and product development environments where accurate wall thickness verification is critical.
A particularly common application is within the blow moulding industry, where Hall Effect technology is used to measure the wall thickness of plastic bottles, containers, and other hollow moulded products without damaging the finished item.

How Hall Effect Thickness Measurement Works
Hall Effect thickness gauges use a small magnetic target placed on one side of the material while the probe is positioned on the opposite side. The instrument accurately measures the distance between the probe and the magnetic target, providing a precise measurement of material thickness.
This method is particularly effective for measuring materials that are not suitable for conventional ultrasonic thickness measurement techniques and is widely used on finished products where maintaining product integrity is essential.
Materials Measured
The Demeq Hall Effect Thickness Gauges are designed for measuring a variety of non-ferrous and non-magnetic materials, including:
