Scanning Probes Speed Coating Thickness Testing
The Elcometer 456 coating thickness gage has three Ultra/Scan probe options for measurement of coatings on either ferrous or non-ferrous metals.
The Elcometer 456 coating thickness gage has three Ultra/Scan probe options for measurement of coatings on either ferrous or non-ferrous metals. The probes have replaceable plastic end caps that snap on so the scan sliding action does not cause wear to the probe tips. The gage’s offset feature ensures the thickness of the cap is included in the calibration adjustment process and discounted from the readings.
Key features of the gage include a 2.4" color display and memory for 150,000 readings in 2,500 batches, with output to ElcoMaster software. It provides ±1 percent measurement accuracy and fast reading at a rate of greater than 70 readings per minute (or 140+ readings per minute with Ultra/Scan probes).
USB and Bluetooth connectivity allow data to be transferred to a computer running ElcoMaster and via the internet using a mobile app.Related Content
