About Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gage Probe

As a Authorized dealer we are engaged in providing the broad assortment of Elcometer, UK make Dry Film Coating Thickness (DFT) gauge used to measure the thickness of dry film coating, this gauge is well known in worldwide.

All Elcometer 456 probes are fully interchangeable and are available in a number of designs and scale ranges to meet your specific application.

Ferrous probes measure non magnetic coatings on ferro-magnetic substrates. Elcometer 456 ferrous gauges accept any ferrous probe. Non-ferrous probes measure non conductive coatings on non-ferrous metal substrates and Elcometer 456 non-ferrous gauges accept any non-ferrous probe. Dual FNF probes measure both ferrous and non-ferrous applications with automatic substrate detection. Elcometer 456 FNF gauges accept all ferrous, non-ferrous and dual FNF probes.

Unless stated, Elcometer separate probes have a maximum operating temperature of 150F), PINIP probes have a maximum operating temperature of 80C (176 F).

Every Elcometer 456 gauge and separate probe is supplied with a Test Certificate free of charge. For separate gauges, the test measurements are generated using factory reference probes.

FAQs of Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gage Probe:

Q: How do I calibrate the Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gage Probe for optimal accuracy?

A: Calibration can be performed using zero, smooth, or rough substrate calibration options. Follow the menu-driven interface to select your preferred method, ensuring you match the calibration to the specific substrate and coating conditions for precise measurement results.

Q: What types of substrates and coatings can the Elcometer 456 measure?

A: This gauge is designed for use on both ferrous (F) and non-ferrous (N) metal substrates, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, automotive, and laboratory applications where accurate coating thickness measurement is required.

Q: When should I use the single-point versus continuous measurement modes?

A: Use single-point mode for spot checks or quality control at specific locations. Switch to continuous mode when scanning larger surfaces or when you need a rapid sequence of readings, as the device can capture up to 70 measurements per minute.

Q: Where can I access and analyze my stored measurement data?

A: You can conveniently access up to 1500 internally stored readings via the devices USB or RS232 interface (depending on model), and analyze your results using ElcoMaster Data Management Software on your computer for comprehensive data management and reporting.

Q: What is the process for changing between the interchangeable, integral, and remote probe types?

A: Switching between probe types is straightforward: simply disconnect the current probe and attach your desired probeinterchangeable, integral, or remote. Ensure the probe is compatible with your measurement needs, whether for ferrous, non-ferrous, or dual-type substrates.

Q: What environments can the Elcometer 456 operate in?

A: The Elcometer 456 operates in temperatures from -10C to 50C and tolerates up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing). With an IP64-rated probe, it is dust and splash proofideal for challenging field or laboratory conditions.

Q: What are the main benefits of using the Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gage Probe?

A: Key advantages include high measurement accuracy (1 to 3% of reading), fast response time, robust protection for reliability, flexible measurement options, prolonged battery life, large LCD display, and advanced data management capabilities, making it indispensable for quality assurance tasks.
