Measuring thickness of pavement stripes
The Marking Thickness Gauge measures the thickness of the paint and thermoplastic of pavement markings.
The instrument is a simple, but efficient metric for ensuring correct thickness of pavement stripes.
Particularly for thermoplastic stripes, where expensive material constitutes a significant part of the costs, control measures can be necessary.
Interface to datalogger
Measuring the thickness of a pavement stripe is simple and easy.
After calibrating the instrument to a reference plane the measurements can be taken.
The result is shown on the instrument display, but may also be read out to a data logger unit.
Resolution and accuracy
The range of the Thickness Gauge unit is -12.7 mm to +12.7 mm with a resolution of 0.01 mm and accuracy better than +/- 0.02 mm.
Measurements are shown as absolute values in deviation from the calibrated reference point.
Hence a deviation of 0.27 mm above the reference will be shown as “0.27” as will a similar negative deviation.
