## Questions & Answers

**Q: In your description it says the device displays statistics, number of measurements, min, max and standard deviation. How can I enable these features?**
A: At the moment, the statistics functions are disabled by software for simplicity and convenience of working with the thickness gauge.

**Q: Will this unit work on powder coated stainless steel? (i.e. 304, 316, 18/8, etc)**
A: Yes.  This thickness gauge will be able to measure the thickness of the coating on stainless slalis

**Q: Can this item be used to detect lead paint on house surface by any chance?**
A: No only metal backed surfaces. You’ll need a lead paint detection kit

**Q: Will this work on painted lead?  That is, will it show how thick the paint is if the metal underneath the paint is lead?**
A: I don't think so. There are only calibrations for steel and aluminum.

The reading results depend heavily upon how square you are to the surface. Will a small foot at the reading end, it's a challenge. Might be best set it on continuous mode and slightly tip it around to get the lowest reading. Same idea on convex/concave surfaces. The included calibration plates ensures confidence of the unit itself. I primarily use it for the delta(differences) readings rather than the absolute values.
