The new Elcometer 456 with probe variety available (separate model gauge) sets new standards for measuring the thickness of a coating.
Ideal for structures and surfaces assessment. A great stainless steel gauge, also used for aluminium and other non-magnetic metal surfaces. With a reading rate of 140 readings per minute, the Elcometer 456 with Probe allows you to inspect more coatings in less time. Featuring a highly durable probe cap, the Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge Scan Probe is a revolutionary design that allows users to take individual dry film thickness readings or rapidly scan large surface areas – without damaging the probe or the coating.
Separate models, with their wide range of probes, provide great measurement flexibility. All probes are fully interchangeable; whilst ferrous gauges accept any ferrous probe and non-ferrous gauges accept any non-ferrous probes the dual FNF gauges accept all ferrous, non-ferrous, and dual FNF probes. Beginning with Model E and ending with Model T, the Elcometer 456 is available in four different models. Our most advanced model, Model T features memory, alpha-numeric batching, and Bluetooth® communication.

The importance of Coating Thickness Gauge Calibration
Formal quality systems, such as those described in ISO 9001, require coating thickness gauges to be properly controlled, logged, and calibrated. Increasingly, users are specifying that the readings taken by thickness gauges are traceable to National Standards.
In order to test the accuracy of a particular gauge, it is important to have traceable coating thickness standards. Elcometer offers a comprehensive range of certified foils together with zero test plates to ensure the accuracy of the coating thickness gauge. Get the best performance from the Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge and make the best use of the gauge’s ±1% accuracy by calibrating the coating thickness instrument to suit the application. This video will guide you through a range of calibration options for both the integral and the separate models.

QUICK TIP:
How to take a reading with Elcometer 456:
1. Whilst holding the gauge perpendicular, gently place the probe onto the surface.
· Do not drag the probe across the surface or bang the probe down hard onto the surface as this will damage the probe tip resulting in inaccurate readings.
· >1500µm’ (’>60mils’) indicates a reading over the probe range.
2. For subsequent readings, lift the probe off and then replace it onto the coated surface.
· Do not allow the probe to hover over the surface as this could result in a false reading.
The first reading taken is displayed next to ‘1′, the second next to ‘2′ etc. When the third reading has been taken, the average (mean, xbar) of the three individual readings displayed is shown (X:).
The average (mean, xbar) reading is cleared when a fourth reading is taken.
By selecting ‘Send Individual Readings’ or ‘Send Mean (xbar) Reading’ via Menu/Bluetooth, the user can choose to transfer the individual readings or just the average (mean, xbar) reading values to ® ® ElcoMaster or ElcoMaster Mobile Apps – see Section 7 on page 7.

QUICK TIP:
How to take a reading with Elcometer 456:
1. Whilst holding the gauge perpendicular, gently place the probe onto the surface.
· Do not drag the probe across the surface or bang the probe down hard onto the surface as this will damage the probe tip resulting in inaccurate readings.
· >1500µm’ (’>60mils’) indicates a reading over the probe range.
2. For subsequent readings, lift the probe off and then replace it onto the coated surface.
· Do not allow the probe to hover over the surface as this could result in a false reading.
The first reading taken is displayed next to ‘1′, the second next to ‘2′ etc. When the third reading has been taken, the average (mean, xbar) of the three individual readings displayed is shown (X:).
The average (mean, xbar) reading is cleared when a fourth reading is taken.
By selecting ‘Send Individual Readings’ or ‘Send Mean (xbar) Reading’ via Menu/Bluetooth, the user can choose to transfer the individual readings or just the average (mean, xbar) reading values to ® ® ElcoMaster or ElcoMaster Mobile Apps – see Section 7 on page 7.
