Elcometer 456 - coating thickness gauge

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Elcometer 456 is a digital coating thickness gauge designed for measuring dry film thickness on metal substrates. It features an ergonomic design suitable for continuous use and is dust and waterproof with an IP64 rating. The device can measure coatings up to 31mm (1,220 mils) and offers temperature-stable measurements.
Key Features:
  • Interchangeable probes for flexible measurement on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates.
  • Fast measurement capability with over 70 readings per minute, extendable to 140+ with a Scan Probe.
  • Accurate measurements on various surfaces, including smooth, rough, thin, and curved, with a precision of ±1%.
  • Large, easy-to-read color LCD screen with automatic rotation and brightness adjustment.
  • Data storage for up to 150,000 readings in 2,500 batches, with USB and Bluetooth® connectivity for data transfer.
Measurement Modes:
  • Scan Mode: Allows rapid scanning of large areas, displaying average, high, and low thickness values.
  • Auto Repeat Mode: Takes readings every half second, significantly speeding up inspections.
  • Counted Average Mode: Stores the average of a predefined number of readings.
  • Fixed Batch Sizes: Automatically opens new batches after reaching a set number of readings.
Models and Specifications:
  • Available in three models: Model B, Model S, and Model T, each offering different features and capabilities.
  • All models are equipped with a 2.4” color TFT display, USB power supply, and a 2-year warranty.
  • Measurement range is 0-31mm (0-1,220 mils) with various calibration methods available.
Probes:
  • Probes are fully interchangeable and available in ferrous, non-ferrous, and dual types.
  • Specialized probes include high-temperature, waterproof, and angled probes for specific applications.
Standards Compliance: The Elcometer 456 complies with numerous international standards, including ASTM, ISO, and SSPC PA2, ensuring its suitability for a wide range of industrial applications.
Probe Specifications: The document categorizes probes into ferrous (F), non-ferrous (N), and ferrous & non-ferrous (FNF) types. Each category lists probes with specific lengths, part numbers, minimum headroom, and minimum sample diameters. The probes are designed for different applications, including straight, right angle, and mini probes.
Measurement Accuracy and Range: The Elcometer 456 probes offer varying levels of accuracy and range depending on the probe type. Accuracy is generally within ±1-3% or specific micrometer/mil values. The range varies from 0-31mm or 0-1220mils, with resolution adjustments based on the measurement scale.
Accessories and Additional Features: The document describes accessories such as the Probe Placement Jig, V-Probe Adaptor, and Jumbo Hand Grip, which enhance measurement precision and ease of use. The Elcometer 456 also supports data output via RS232 ports for integration with automated production lines.
Durability and Usability: The Elcometer 456 is designed for durability in harsh environments, with features like a scratch and solvent-resistant screen, ergonomic design, and IP64 dust and waterproof rating. It can store up to 150,000 readings and supports USB and Bluetooth data output.
Conclusion: The Elcometer 456 is a versatile and robust tool for measuring coating thickness on various substrates, offering high accuracy, repeatability, and a range of accessories to suit different measurement needs.
