LZ330C Dual Coating Thickness Gauge

The Dual-Substrate Field Gauge That Set the Standard for the L600S

The LZ330C was Kett’s dual-mode coating thickness gauge for operators who measured across both magnetic and non-magnetic substrates without carrying two instruments. It is no longer manufactured. The information below is provided for owners of existing units and for buyers identifying the current replacement.

What the LZ330C Did

The LZ330C paired an electromagnetic probe for non-magnetic coatings on steel with an eddy current probe for insulating coatings on aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-magnetic metals. Operators selected the probe for the substrate in front of them and worked from one handheld unit.

• Two substrates, one gauge: Electromagnetic mode for coatings on ferrous metals and eddy current mode for coatings on non-ferrous metals, covering plated, painted, and lined parts.
• Measurement range: Up to 1,500 µm on ferrous substrates and 800 µm on non-ferrous, covering typical coating and plating work.
• Eight application memories: Stored calibration curves for four ferrous and four non-ferrous applications, so a repeated job could be recalled without recalibrating.
• Removable-tip probe: Supplied with the LEP30C and LHP30C probes, whose removable plastic tips reached into tighter spots than fixed-tip designs.

Why the L600S Replaces It

The LZ330C followed the LZ300 series and was succeeded by the LZ370 and LZ373. The current production model for all of this work is the L600S. It keeps the dual-substrate measurement that defined the 330 and adds a wider measurement range, a 2.7 inch full color display, storage for 50,000 records, and USB-C output for modern data transfer.
