Product Overview
The Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge sets new standards; providing reliable and accurate coating thickness measurements; helping you to become more efficient.
The Elcometer 456 dry film thickness gauge is available in four different models. Each gauge provides the user with increasing functionality - from the entry level Elcometer 456 Model E, to the top of the range Elcometer 456 Model T.
Integral gauges are ideal for single handed operation as the wide footprint of the Bigfoot™ internal probe provides greater stability during measurement - allowing for consistent, repeatable and accurate results.
Separate models, with their wide range of probes, provide even greater coating thickness measurement flexibility.
Formal quality systems, such as those described in ISO 9001, require that gauges be properly controlled, logged and in calibration. Increasingly, users are specifying that the readings taken by gauges are traceable to National Standards. A comprehensive range of certified foils together with zero test plates is available to ensure the accuracy of the gauges, click here.
