The Elcometer 456 Seperate 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 three different models. 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. Each model is also available for measuring Ferrous, Non- Ferrous or Dual Ferrous & Non Ferrous. Separate coating thickness gauge models have a wide range of probes, which provide even greater dry film thickness measurement flexibility.
Probes are sold separately. Please read the technical datasheet for assistance with probe selection.
There are a number different probes to choose from but the leading probe is the Ultra/Scan probe.
The Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge Ultra/Scan Probe is a revolutionary design which allows users to take individual dry film thickness readings or rapidly scan large surface areas - without damaging the probe or the coating.
When used in conjunction with the Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge Scan or Auto Repeat Mode, the Ultra/Scan Probe enables users to significantly reduce dry film thickness inspection times without affecting accuracy.
With a reading rate of 140 readings per minute, the Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge with Ultra/Scan Probe allows you to inspect more coatings in less time.
