Pre-calibrated with 4 profile ranges to ensure accurate coating thickness measurement on blasted substrates, the Elcometer 456 IPC Thickness Gauge is fast and very easy to use.
Profile Ranges

The user selectable surface profiles include smooth, fine, medium and coarse ranges. The gauge’s built in integral ferrous probe allows thickness measurements to be taken on flat or curved surfaces, in mils or microns.

Profile                                           Metric                                             Imperial
Smooth                                        0-25μm                                            0-1mil
Fine                                             25-60μm                                          1-2mils
Medium                                     60-100μm                                         2-3mils
Coarse                                       >100μm                                            3-4mils

With a reading rate of 70+ readings per minute, the gauge displays three individual thickness readings together with the average.
Coating thickness readings can be transferred via Bluetooth® or USB to ElcoMaster®, or your own software application, for instant report generation

Similar to the Elcometer 550 Non-Contact Powder Thickness Gauge, this gauge includes a laser guide to help detect and keep consistent measuring distances. As a result, the number of readings and the speed at which they are completed are significantly increased.

By carefully controlling the thickness of powder applied to a product, you can minimize 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 ±0.25mils (±5µm)
• 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
