Coating Thickness and Measuring Tools

Elcometer 112 & 2326 Wet Film Combs

Product Description

These hexagonal precision formed stainless steel wet film combs are long lasting and reusable and are supplied in a range of thicknesses measuring up to 3000µm (120mils).

These six sided combs vary in size, giving either 24 or 36 measurement steps, depending on the comb, providing increased accuracy.

Using a wet film comb

Place a comb perpendicular to and touching the substrate. Hold the comb in position and wait a few seconds until the teeth are wet. Remove the comb from the film. The wet film thickness lies between the biggest value 'coated' or 'wet' tooth and the smallest value "uncoated" or "dry" tooth.

Elcometer 550 Non-Contact Powder Thickness Gauge

Product Description.

By carefully controlling the thickness of powder applied to a product, you can minimise your powder usage and ensure the quality of your coating. As contact measurement solutions damage the finish and do not predict the cured coating thickness, measuring the powder thickness pre-cure requires a non-contact solution.

Using third generation proven airborne ultrasonic technology, the new Elcometer 550 accurately predicts cured coating thickness by non-contact measurement of coating powders.

  • Accurately predicts the cured coating thickness within ± 5% of the reading or ±5µm (±0.25mils)
  • Ergonomic gun designed for comfort when taking multiple readings
  • Hand held sensor allows easy positioning of the gun for fast measurement
  • Large illuminated colour display with positioning graph to guide orientation of sensor probe
  • Tough aluminium case, ideal for testing in an industrial environment
  • Easy to Use

  • Easy to read, large colour display
  • Adjustable screen brightness for all test conditions
  • Ergonomic probe - ideal for continuous testing
  • Can be used straight out of the box with minimal set up time
  • On-screen guidance graph and handle LEDs help you orientate the probe sensor for fast, accurate measurements.
  • Reliable

  • Fast, accurate and repeatable results
  • Can be used in accordance with ASTM D7378-Procedure C
  • Proven, 3rd Generation, airborne ultrasonic technology
  • User-programmable setup to account for varying powder shrinkage rates
  • Enhanced Technology

  • Measure thicknesses from 30 - 110µm (1.18 - 4.4mils)
  • 1mm² (0.04 sq in) measurement area - ideal for flat, curved and small surfaces
  • Test coatings on a wide range of substrates, including metal, wood, MDF, plastic and pre-coated surfaces
