About Surface Profile Gauge

As a Authorized dealer we are engaged in providing the broad assortment of Elcometer Coating Inspection Equipments..

Surface profile: The degree of profile on the surface affects a coatings overall performance and determines aspects such as adhesion, coverage and overall volume of coatings used. If the profile is too large the amount of coating required increases, otherwise there is a danger that the peaks remain uncoated - allowing rust spots to occur. If the profile is too sm

Elcometer 123 Surface Profile Gauge

The Elcometer 123 Surface Profile Gauge is an easy to use analogue gauge which measures the peak-to-valley height of a blast cleaned surface in a similar way to the Elcometer 224 Digital Surface Profile Gauge.
Metric and Imperial versions available.
USING A SURFACE PROFILE GAUGE
Ensure that the gauge is set to zero before taking any measurements, thus: loosen the clamp locking screw, allowing the knurled bezel with the scale to rotate; place the gauge on the glass slide provided; turn the bezel until the pointer is aligned to zero; re-tighten the clamp screw.
Place the gauge on the surface to be measured. The spring-loaded tip is projected into the valley and the depth is indicated on the dial in microns or mils, according to the scale. See diagrams opposite.
To obtain a representative value of peak-to-valley height, a number of readings (at least 10) should be taken on a given surface area and the average obtained.
When evaluating the results, it must be remembered that the instrument reads from the three maximum peaks under the foot.
Under normal conditions of use, the zero setting of the gauge will not change if the bezel is locked. If, however, a shift in zero is noted, this is an indication of a worn or damaged tip, which should be replaced.

FAQs of Surface Profile Gauge:

Q: How do I use the Surface Profile Gauge for measuring surface profiles?

A: To use the Surface Profile Gauge, position the handheld device over the surface you wish to measure, ensuring the contact point (3 mm in diameter) rests securely on the profile. Read the value displayed on the analog dial, which provides an instant and precise measurement of the surfaces height profile.

Q: What types of surfaces can the gauge measure?

A: This gauge is designed to measure a single specimen at a time and is suitable for both flat and curved surfaces. It is ideal for assessing the profile of blast-cleaned or coated surfaces, making it versatile for various industrial applications.

Q: Where is this Surface Profile Gauge commonly used?

A: The Surface Profile Gauge is widely used in quality control processes within manufacturing, coating, and surface preparation industries. It is especially valuable in environments requiring precise surface profile measurements, such as construction sites, manufacturing plants, and coatings facilities.

Q: What are the benefits of the instruments stainless steel body and hardened steel pointer?

A: The stainless steel body offers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring the gauges longevity, while the hardened steel pointer maintains accuracy through repeated use, making the instrument highly durable and reliable for frequent measurements.

Q: How accurate is the measurement and what is the resolution?

A: The Surface Profile Gauge provides measurements with an accuracy of 0.01 mm and a resolution of 0.01 mm, enabling users to achieve detailed and reliable surface profile assessments for critical quality control.

Q: How is the gauge protected while not in use?

A: The instrument comes in a dedicated protective case, which helps prevent damage during storage or transport. Its IP54 protection rating further shields the device from dust and water splashes in harsh environments.

Q: Can the gauge be used in varying environmental conditions?

A: Yes, the device is factory-calibrated for dependable operation across temperatures from 0C to 50C and humidity levels ranging from 20% to 90% RH, assuring accuracy in different environmental settings.
