Factors affecting measurement
There are many factors that can affect the reliability of a
measurement result:
Principle:
a) Magnetic
b) Electrical
c) Radius of
d) Substrate
e) Substrate
f) Surface
g) Ground edge
h) Deformation
i) Adhered
j) Strong
Method:
properties of
the substrate
properties of
the substrate
curvature of
the substrate
thickness
surface
roughness of
the substrate
effect, shape
change
of the
substrate or
coating
substances
on the
surface

Recommendations
Zero and multi-
point calibration.
√
Read the
√
explanation below
the table and
decide whether
√
calibration is
necessary.
√
For multiple
measurements,
√
see the
explanation below
the table.
Avoid measuring
at edges where
√
the shape of the
surface changes
suddenly.
√
-
Clean the probe
√
and the surface to
be measured.
Measure away
√
from strong
magnetic fields
