Check paint temperature before application with a simple field-ready instrument
Direct temperature measurement for paints and liquid coatings
The Elcometer 210 Paint Thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of paint before application, helping coating professionals confirm that the material is within a suitable temperature range for use. Paint temperature can affect application characteristics, including viscosity, so checking the liquid itself provides useful information when preparing a coating for application.
Unlike traditional liquid-filled glass thermometers, the Elcometer 210 has a robust metal construction suited to on-site coating inspection. Its straightforward mechanical design requires no batteries or electronic controls, making it a practical instrument for routine field measurements.
Clip-on design for convenient paint-can measurements
The thermometer is supplied with an integrated clip that allows it to be hooked onto the edge of a paint can or container. The long 300 mm (12 in) stem extends into the coating while the dial remains readily visible, allowing the paint temperature to be monitored directly in the container.
Made for coating inspection in the field
With its metal construction and battery-free operation, the Elcometer 210 is particularly well suited to coating inspectors, painters and quality-control personnel who need a simple way to verify liquid coating temperature at the work site.

Q&A
Why measure the paint temperature rather than only the air temperature?
Air temperature does not necessarily represent the actual temperature of the coating. Measuring the paint directly helps confirm that the material has been stored and conditioned at an appropriate temperature and is suitable for application.
Can the Elcometer 210 remain attached to the paint container while taking a reading?
Yes. The thermometer includes a clip specifically designed to hook onto the edge of a paint can, allowing the stem to remain immersed while the temperature is being measured.
Is this thermometer intended to measure the steel surface temperature?
No. The Elcometer 210 is intended for measuring the temperature of paint or other liquid coatings. For measuring steel and other magnetic surface temperatures, a dedicated surface thermometer such as the Elcometer 113 is more appropriate.
