Coating thickness gauges are used for the measurement of coatings on all metal surfaces. Digital coating gauges are more accurate, more repeatable and more reproducible than any other coating thickness gauges available on the market today.

Based on it's versatility and ease of use, we've chosen to carry the Standard Elcometer 456 thickness gauge in our line of coatings testing instruments. The standard model offers significant upgrades from the basic model, such as memory and counted average mode, and is very close in price. This low cost gauge provides a simple, accurate and reliable way to measure your coating's thickness. Although we can obtain either the Basic or Top models as well, we feel that the Standard model is the best choice for the majority of users. In the case of ferrous models, other thickness scales are available as well. We have chosen to carry the integral models with built-in probes at this time, but separate gauges are available as well with a wide variety of probes. Please call us at (301)975-9798 for more information about the other models.

The Elcometer 456 Integral (built in) Probes offer an ideal gauge for both flat and uneven surfaces. The large 'Bigfoot™ ' probe allows for consistent and repeatable results as there is no cable, the gauge can take readings using one hand and offers Bluetooth® wireless technology.

The Elcometer 456 Integral Gauges are ideal for measurement on both organic and inorganic coatings. Although this particular gauge is for use on Ferrous (steel) substrates, we also offer a 456 Integral for use on ferrous (e.g. steel) substrates as well as a dual ferrous/non-ferrous gauge. See the related products below for more information.
