Quality By Vision – STANNOMetal 9000: Tin Coating on steel thickness

Brought to you by Quality By Vision, our specialist metal packaging testing brand, this industry-leading tin coating thickness measurement system is ideal for steel mills, can makers and their customers. 

Our tin coating thickness inspection device is what you need for coulometric testing to ensure the correct thickness of tin and chrome coating on tinplate, guide insightful research and development planning, and tighten up your quality control processes.  

Coulometric tin gauge thickness testing 

The STANNOMetal 9000 is the latest generation of our popular STANNOMATIC metal thickness gauge range. It features high-tech electrolytic / coulometric hardware and software so you get the best in computerized tin coating testing.  

Unique in its class, this is the first tin and chrome coating thickness gauge to provide accurate tin coating thickness analysis using a powerful Windows TM operating system. Previously this was only found with a coulometer operating through a DOS system.  

Easy operation coulometer testing  

Just insert a tinplate or TFS (tin free steel) sample into the cell and we do the rest. First the electrolytic fluid fills the cell, which is then closed off. Next, the measurement commences. Once the tin coating is completely deplated the included software presents the measurement results for the tin, alloy and total coating thickness.  

Tin coating thickness testing standards 

Compliant to the stringent requirements of several international certifications, our metal thickness gauge contains preset ASTM A630, EURONORM, ISO, and BSI standards. We like to make your life easy, so you can even add custom standards to work towards.  

A range of tin gauge thickness profiles 

The STANNOMetal 9000 tin and chrome coating metal thickness gauge creates profiles for each tin coating thickness measurement. Zoom in, or out, of the data and modify it as you see fit. You can then follow up with the next coulometer measurement using a new standard. 

Multi-speed coulometer testing 

A range of tin coating thickness test programs are available at different speeds: fast, medium, slow, and combination. So you get accurate coulometer testing of both thin and thick coatings. 

Metal thickness gauge testing choices  

We make a range of metal thickness gauge products and accessories. Why not have a look at the tin and CHROMetal 9000? It’s perfect for chrome plating analysis.
