Essential Coating Inspection Tools in One Field-Ready Kit
Entry-level inspection kit for protective coating applications
The Elcometer Protective Coating Inspection Kit 1 brings together essential instruments for checking key coating parameters before and during application. Designed as an entry-level protective coatings inspection kit, it provides equipment for measuring surface profile, climatic conditions, wet film thickness and dry film thickness.
Available in metric and imperial configurations, the instruments are supplied together in a sturdy, lightweight carrying case. This gives coating inspectors and applicators a convenient way to keep frequently used inspection equipment organized and ready for field use.
Inspect the Surface Before Coating
Correct surface preparation is critical to coating performance. The kit includes Testex Replica Tape in Coarse and X-Coarse grades together with the Elcometer 124 Thickness Gauge, allowing the peak-to-valley surface profile of blasted surfaces to be assessed using the replica tape method.
The two supplied tape grades cover profiles from 20 to 115 µm (0.5 to 4.5 mils), providing a practical solution for evaluating a broad range of blasted surface profiles.
Check Climatic Conditions Before Application
Environmental conditions can have a major effect on coating application and performance. The kit includes an Elcometer 116 Whirling/Sling Hygrometer, Elcometer 114 Dewpoint Calculator and an Elcometer 212 Digital Thermometer with surface probe.
Together, these instruments allow inspectors to obtain wet and dry bulb temperatures, determine relative humidity and dew point, and measure the substrate surface temperature. These measurements help determine whe
ther conditions are suitable for coating application and whether condensation may be a concern.
Monitor Wet Film Thickness During Application
The included Elcometer 112 Hexagonal Wet Film Comb provides a quick method of checking coating thickness immediately after application. Its measurement range of 25 to 3000 µm (up to 120 mils) allows applicators to monitor wet film build and make adjustments before the coating cures.
Verify Dry Film Thickness
After the coating has dried, the supplied Elcometer 456 Integral Digital Coating Thickness Gauge provides non-destructive dry film thickness measurements on ferrous substrates. The Model B gauge has a measurement range of 0 to 1500 µm (0 to 60 mils).
Combining wet and dry film thickness inspection in the same kit helps coating professionals monitor application throughout the coating process rather than relying solely on final measurements.
Assess Coating Adhesion by Cross Hatch Testing
The kit also includes the Elcometer 107 Cross Hatch Cutter, supplied with 6 × 1 mm and 6 × 2 mm cutters. Cross hatch testing provides a straightforward method for assessing the adhesion of coatings to a substrate and between coating layers.

Q&A
Who is the Elcometer Protective Coating Inspection Kit 1 designed for?
It is an entry-level kit for protective coating inspectors, applicators and quality-control personnel who need to check essential surface, environmental and coating thickness parameters in the field.
Can this kit check conditions before the coating is applied?
Yes. The kit provides instruments for checking blasted surface profile, surface temperature, wet and dry bulb temperatures, relative humidity and dew point, allowing important substrate and climatic conditions to be assessed before coating application.
Can the kit measure both wet and dry coating thickness?
Yes. The Elcometer 112 Hexagonal Wet Film Comb measures freshly applied wet coating, while the Elcometer 456 digital gauge provides non-destructive dry film thickness measurements after the coating has cured.
What substrates can the supplied Elcometer 456 measure?
Kit 1 includes the Model B Ferrous version of the Elcometer 456, designed for measuring non-magnetic coatings on ferrous metal substrates such as steel.
Does the kit include equipment for checking coating adhesion?
Yes. The current Elcometer Kit 1 specification includes an Elcometer 107 Cross Hatch Cutter with both 6 × 1 mm and 6 × 2 mm cutters for assessing coating adhesion.
What is the advantage of purchasing the inspection kit instead of individual instruments?
The kit combines the principal instruments needed for routine protective coating inspection in a single organized carrying case. This makes it easier for an inspector to perform checks at different stages of the coating process and reduces the need to assemble and transport each instrument separately.
