More experience equals more versatility. Which is why Kocour packs more capability into its thickness testers than anyone. And Kocour hands it all to you in a compact, easy-to-use, quick-learning instrument. The 6000 breaks new groundsets new standards in accuracyperformance with an exceptional combination of capabilityprice. Recognized as the developer of the first commercial coulometric tester, more Kocour testers are in use today than all other competitive makes combined.
While all Kocour systems are designed to the same standards, they don''t all deliver the same performance. The 6000''s microprocessor based circuitry offers access to over 300 coating/substrate applications. From parts as small as a #2 screw to as large as an electro-galvanized coil, or from multilayer coatings to alloy layers formed during or after manufacturing, the 6000 meets the demands of modern industry with unmatched precision.

- Measuring Principle
The Kocour 6000 digital Thickness Tester utilizes the coulometric principle. A small test area is anodically deplated with an electrolytic solution applied at a constant current. Because the testing solution is selective, it removes only the plating. Thickness is determined by the currenttime required to remove the plating. When the substrate is exposed, the 6000 turns off automaticallydisplays the thickness on the instrument panel. - The 6000 meets the requirements of ASTM Specifications B504, B298, B355ISO Standard 2177.
- Versatility
Kocour Testers offer the ultimate in versatility. Regardless of the number of plated layers, each can be individually measured. Base material, shape, surface roughness, electrical or magnetic properties do not affect results. Measure anything from 0.002 mil 0,05 microns to 2 mils 50 microns. - Speed: 30-60 Seconds per test.
- Operation: Six simple steps. Easy to learn. Accuraterepeatable measurement even by the most inexperienced operator.
- Construction: Built to operate reliably under all conditions, shop or lab. Heavy gauge corrosion-resistant steel case resists occupational weartear.
