The correct paint or coating thickness is an important parameter for surface treatment. The strength and durability of the paint surface is based on the correct application of this system, following the specification sheet of the paint manufacturer. Each coat, from the primer to the topcoat and the individual intermediate coats, is precisely defined with minimum and maximum coating thicknesses.
Elcometer devices can be used to check the layer thickness on different surfaces (metal, glass, stone, plastic, wood).
Accurate paint film thickness measurement Whether you're measuring on smooth, rough, thin or curved surfaces, the Elcometer 456 Dry Film Thickness Gauge provides accurate and temperature stable measurements thanks to its ±1% thickness measurement capability and increased reading resolution. Factory calibrated - ready and easy for immediate use Quality inspector time is of the utmost value, which is why the Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge is factory calibrated, [...]
The wet-layer measuring comb is a hexagonal or octagonal precision measuring comb made of heavy gauge steel. The high quality steel is unaffected by acidic or alkaline elements. Each side of the gauge has a series of grooves cut into it like the teeth of a comb. It is excellent for measuring the thickness of paints, varnishes and gels.
This allows the application system to be set up and fine-tuned before the heating process. This, in turn, reduces residues and overspray. Place the comb in the powder and slide the comb along the surface. The measuring points (or teeth) are sharp and allow the powder to flow around them. The thickness of the powder will be between the highest value, where there is a visible drag mark, and the lowest value, where no drag mark has occurred. Note.
Calibrated and ready for immediate use, the Elcometer 211 is factory calibrated with a user calibration setting and comes with foils for on-site calibration checks. Small and portable with ±5% accuracy, the Elcometer 211 is available in both metric and imperial versions and measures up to 6mm (250 miles) of cover.
