Each coating thickness gauge provides the user with increasing functionality from the entry level elcometer 456 model b to the top of the range elcometer 456 model t.
Elcometer 456 coating thickness gauge.
The elcometer 456 coating thickness gauge with scan probe allows the user to set the gauge to the exact substrate conditions by using calibration shims also known as foils.
Elcometer 456 separate coating thickness gauge during each scan the elcometer 456 displays the live thickness reading together with an analogue bar graph which graphically indicates the thickness relative to both the nominal thickness and any user defined limits.
Calibration foils are precisely measured using laboratory equipment and labelled with the thickness values in microns and mils allowing precise adjustment of the gauge.
A range of calibration options are available on the elcometer 456 coating thickness gauge.
The elcometer 456 coating thickness gauge ultra scan probe has been designed with a highly durable replaceable cap to eradicate probe wear and allow scanning of large surface areas increasing measurement speed from 70 readings per minute to greater than 140 without affecting the gauge accuracy or damaging the coating.
Zero calibration is a simple method for calibrating on smooth substrates and is sometimes referred to as single point calibration following the on screen calibration instructions place the probe on the uncoated metal substrate making sure you have 100 contact with the surface.
