Paint/Coating Equipment >
Dry Film Thickness > Elcometer 456
With it's newly enhanced and simplified menu screen options, the Elcometer 456 remains the most advanced hand held coating thickness gauge on the market today.
This flagship product is available in any combination of Basic, Standard, and Top functionality; and is available as either an integral (built in probe) or a separate probe version which has itself got an extensive range of plug in probes.
With such an extensive range of gauge options, there is an Elcometer 456 to meet your specific application needs. |
|
Elcometer 456 Integral Gauge
|
|
The Elcometer 456 Integral (built in) Probes offer an ideal gauge for flat or uneven surfaces alike. Their large 'BigfootT ' probe allows for consistent and repeatable results. As there is no cable, readings can be taken using one hand.
The Elcometer 456 Integral Gauges are ideal for measuring both organic and inorganic coatings and are available in either:
- Ferrous (F)
- Non-Ferrous (NF), or
- Both Ferrous and Non-Ferrous (FNF)
|
|
Elcometer 456 Separate Probe Gauge
|
|
The Elcometer 456 Separate (Plug in) Probe Option is the most versatile gauge for the measurement of a wide range of coatings on metal substrates.
- Available in Basic, Standard and Top Models.
- Available in Ferrous (F), Non-Ferrous (NF) & Dual FNF versions.
