SUMMARY:Contact versus non-contact strip thickness measurement in the 21st century                                                  
DESCRIPTION:There are continuous contact and noncontact thickness gauges used in cold rolling process. The spectrum of noncontact measuring instruments has considerably expanded thanks to the development of new technologies and implementation of wide range of physical principles. The paper briefly reviews the types of noncontact measuring devices most frequently used today including laser thickness gauges. However environment including vapour, presence of oil or any liquid on the strip, chemical composition of the material, type of strip surface can be critical for noncontact measurement against the contact type.

We will also mention an example of a unique application where contact thickness gauge is used for calibration of noncontact measuring gauge, e.g. for rolling aluminium or bimetal strips to provide safe, fast and accurate measurement. 

Consequently more detailed attention is given to the most important parameters and advantages of a contact thickness gauges that show us this measurement can still successfully compete with the noncontact measuring instruments and in some applications may even be the only one solution.
