Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge

Elcometer 456 coating thickness gauge with integrated probe. The Elcometer 456 dry film thickness gauge, also known as a paint thickness gauge, is available in three different models. Each coating thickness gauge offers the user increasing functionality – from the entry-level Elcometer 456 paint gauge model B to the top-of-the-range model

T. Integrated coating thickness gauges are ideal for single-handed operation, as the wide footprint of the Bigfoot™ internal probe provides greater stability during coating thickness measurement – this enables consistent, repeatable and accurate dry film thickness results.

Compatible with ElcoMaster® software and the ElcoMaster® mobile app, individual coating thickness measurements can be transferred via USB or Bluetooth® to a computer or mobile device for analysis and instant report generation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Elcometer 456 coating thickness gauge measure? The Elcometer 456 measures dry film thickness (DFT) – i.e. the thickness of a paint layer, varnish or other coating on a metal substrate. The instrument works on both ferromagnetic (FE) and non-ferromagnetic (NFE) metal.

What is the measurement accuracy of the Elcometer 456? The Elcometer 456 provides ±1% measurement accuracy together with high reading resolution. The instrument is temperature-stable, ensuring reliable results in various working conditions.

Does the Elcometer 456 require calibration before use? No. The Elcometer 456 is factory pre-calibrated and ready for immediate use straight out of the box. This saves time and ensures readiness for work on site.

Which models is the Elcometer 456 available in? The Elcometer 456 is available in three models: B (base version), S (with statistics functions) and T (with full functionality, including Bluetooth® and ElcoMaster® support). Each model offers increasingly more features for quality control.

Is the Elcometer 456 compatible with a computer or mobile device? Yes. The Elcometer 456 model T is compatible with ElcoMaster® software and the mobile app. Data can be transferred via USB or Bluetooth® to a computer or mobile device for real-time analysis and reporting.
