Can this gauge measure plastic or carbon fiber parts?

No. CM-224 Auto is a paint thickness gauge for metal substrates only: steel/iron (Fe) and aluminum/copper (NFe). Plastic bumpers, carbon fiber, and composites cannot be measured correctly because they don’t support magnetic/eddy current testing.

What does Fe+Zn detection mean?

Fe+Zn detects galvanized steel on ferrous panels. During used car inspection, compare symmetrical parts (left/right fender, doors, quarter panels). They should show the same material type. Different results may indicate a replaced or repaired panel.

Does the gauge require calibration before use?

For automotive paint inspection, no calibration is required. Factory calibrated and ready after installing batteries. Detailed calibration may be needed only for high-precision industrial coating control (e.g., parts painting on a conveyor line).

Who is this gauge for?

CM-224 Auto is ideal for used car buyers, vehicle appraisers, body shops, and detailing professionals. It helps quickly check paint thickness on metal panels to spot repainting, repairs, and uneven coating during inspections.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. CM-224 Auto operates from –20 °C to +40 °C (–4 °F to 104 °F), suitable for garages and outdoor car checks. It features temperature compensation for more stable readings during temperature changes. Keep the probe and surface clean.**
