CHRIS-MARINE®
Coating Thickness Measurement / CTM
High precision coating thickness measurement on magnetic and non-magnetic base materials.
-
Easy-to-use condition-based maintenance and wear monitoring of piston rings in 2-stroke engines
- Measures non-magnetic coatings on magnetic or non-magnetic base materials
- Automatically detects whether the base material is magnetic or non-magnetic
- Compatible with LDM, trend-plotting software included
- Reliable and non-destructive measurements even in hard-to-reach areas
Coating Thickness Measurement - CTM
The graph shows how the estimated time to next piston overhaul can be predicted using the CTM on the top piston ring of a modern 2-stroke engine. The piston ring wear rate varies from unit to unit, as a result from production tolerances and operating conditions giving opportunity for safer and less costly overhauling by practising condition-based monitoring with the CTM.
CTM
Coating thickness measurement tool with high precision
CTM measures coating thickness with high precision on magnetic and non-magnetic base materials.
The coating thickness measurement tool measures the remaining life time of coated piston rings:
-Liner time scale: ~1000 Rh
-Measurement time: ~15 minutes/liner
- CTM is ideal for condition based monitoring of piston rings in 2-stroke engines.
- It measures non-magnetic coatings on magnetic base materials, such as chromium plated or plasma coated cast iron.
- It also measures non-magnetic coatings on non- magnetic base materials, such as plastic coated stainless steel.
- CTM automatically detects whether the base material is magnetic or non-magnetic.
- The tool is small enough to make reliable measurements even in hard to reach areas
- CTM is user-friendly, sturdy and ideal for uncomplicated, reliable and non-destructive in-situ measurements
