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 gaugeā€™s Ā±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.
Ā· 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.
Ā· >1500Āµmā€™ (ā€™>60milsā€™) indicates a reading over the probe range.

2. For subsequent readings, lift the probe off and then replace it onto the coated surface.
Ā· 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 ā€˜1′, the second next to ā€˜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 ā€˜Send Individual Readingsā€™ or ā€˜Send Mean (xbar) Readingā€™ via Menu/Bluetooth, the user can choose to transfer the individual readings or just the average (mean, xbar) reading values to Ā® Ā® ElcoMaster or ElcoMaster Mobile Apps – see Section 7 on page 7.

**Note: The Elcometer 456 Separate gauges require the use of a compatible probe – Sold Separately.**

QUICK TIP:

How to take a reading with Elcometer 456:

1. Whilst holding the gauge perpendicular, gently place the probe onto the surface.
Ā· 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.
Ā· >1500Āµmā€™ (ā€™>60milsā€™) indicates a reading over the probe range.

2. For subsequent readings, lift the probe off and then replace it onto the coated surface.
Ā· 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 ā€˜1′, the second next to ā€˜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 ā€˜Send Individual Readingsā€™ or ā€˜Send Mean (xbar) Readingā€™ via Menu/Bluetooth, the user can choose to transfer the individual readings or just the average (mean, xbar) reading values to Ā® Ā® ElcoMaster or ElcoMaster Mobile Apps – see Section 7 on page 7.

**Note: The Elcometer 456 Separate gauges require the use of a compatible probe – Sold Separately.**
