P.I.G. 455

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Paint Inspection Gauge (P.I.G.) 455 by ElektroPhysik is a compact instrument designed for measuring coating thickness on non-metallic substrates such as wood, concrete, and plastics. It is particularly useful where traditional electromagnetic methods are ineffective.

Specifications:

Measuring Range: 2 - 200 μm (standard)
Dimensions: 110 x 85 x 25 mm
Weight: 0.4 kg
Power Supply: 9 V battery
Light Source: LED diffuse white
Measuring Microscope: Magnification of 50, Reticle 2 mm (1/100-division)

Testing Principle: The P.I.G. 455 uses a standardized wedge cut procedure to measure layer thickness. The coating is cut at a defined angle, and the thickness is calculated based on the slope projection of the cut face, using a measuring microscope.

Design and Function: The device features a black painted aluminum block with key components including:

Exchangeable carbide tip with precision-ground angular cutting blade
Measuring microscope with 50x magnification
Support pins for stability
Battery compartment for a 9 V battery
LED and fiber-optic light guide for illumination

Technical Data: The gauge supports various carbide tips for different measuring ranges and cutting angles:

No. 1: 20 - 2000 μm, 45° angle
No. 4: 10 - 1000 μm, 26.6° angle
No. 5: 5 - 500 μm, 14° angle
No. 6: 2 - 200 μm, 5.7° angle

Order Information: The P.I.G. 455 can be ordered with various accessories and spare parts, including special tips for different layer thicknesses.

Scope of Delivery: The package includes a carbide tip No. 6, a 9 V battery, a marking pen, a leather case, and operating instructions.
