    It looks like it does from the description. It says the F probe can pick up plastics.


    * The F probes measure the thickness of non-magnetic materials (xxxxx Paint, plastic, porcelain enamel, copper, zinc, aluminium, chrome etc. ) on magnetic materials (xxxxx Iron, nickle etc. ). Often used to measure the thickness of galvanizing layer, lacquer layer, porcelain enamel layer, phosphide layer, copper tile, aluminium tile, some alloy tile, paper etc.

    * The N probes measure the thickness of non-magnetic coatings on non-magnetic metals. It is used on anodizing, varnish, paint, enamel, plastic coatings, powder, etc. Applied to aluminum, brass, non-magnetic stainless steel, etc.

    * Automatic substrate recognition.

    But now that I think about it, It may measure only the thickness of the plastic. Yea I read it wrong.

    when those coatings applied to aluminum, bras and stainless steel.
    those descriptions are confusing

    The F probes measure the thickness of non-magnetic materials on magnetic materials.
    The N probes measure the thickness of non-magnetic coatings on non-magnetic metals. (aluminum and SS are not magnetic)
