Tooke Paint Inspection Gauge

Caltech Engineering Services offers Tooke Paint Inspection Gauge (Plastic) is a precision tool for inspection and thickness measurement (in accordance withASTM D4138) of single or multiple coats on any substrate, and for microscopic observation and measurement of substrate and film defects. The Tooke Gauge uses an illuminated 50-power microscope equipped with a “universal scope” with a measuring reticle that accommodates measurement in mils, microns, and millimeters. (Note: Each universal microscope is validated before sale against a certified gage block traceable to the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST).) This gauge mounts tungsten carbide cutting tips for precise incision of the work surface. Standard cutting tips are 1×, 2×, and 10×. An optional 5× tip is available. Also, a gauge can be ordered with three tips of the same size, or with a single precision-ground tip and two blanks.
