Elcometer recently introduced a new range of coating thickness gauges with improved data management software. ElcoMaster 2.0 offers users a single software solution, not only for coating thickness measurements, but also for other gauges used in the inspection and monitoring of coating processes – such as surface profile and climate monitoring equipment – providing a solution for the creation of professional inspection reports in minutes.
Fast, reliable and accurate, the new Elcometer 456 sets new standards in coating thickness measurements. Available in a range of models for measuring dry film thickness on ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates, the new Elcometer 456 is even easier to use than ever before. Key features include:
* Fast measuring speed of more than 70 readings per minute.
* Memory capacity of up to 75 000 readings in alpha-numeric batches, interchangeable probes and output to ElcoMaster 2.0.
* Impact resistant and sealed against dust and water equivalent to IP64, the new Elcometer 456 is rugged and ideal for all environments.
* A colour display, clear menu structure and large buttons make the new meter easy to use.
* Measurement capability to ±1% on smooth, rough, thin and curved surfaces, the Elcometer 456 gives repeatable results.
The new gauges are available in four models with each level providing the user with increasing functionality, from the entry level Elcometer 456 model E to the top of the range Elcometer 456 T with memory, alpha-numeric batch identification and Bluetooth wireless communication.
