Accessories
Ideal for precision placement for the most accurate results on flat and curved surfaces. Place the probe inside the Jumbo Hand
Grip and take measurements - ideal when wearing gloves. Suitable for any Elcometer 456 Scale 1 or Scale 2 straight probes.
V-Probe Adaptor
Ideal for precision placement for the most accurate results on medium and large diameter curved surfaces such as pipes and
cylinders. Suitable for any Elcometer 456 Scale 1 or Scale 2 straight probes.
Highly durable - when tested on smooth surfaces probe end caps have been scanned in excess of 50 km (30 miles) - each end
cap snaps on to the end of the Ultra/Scan probe significantly enhancing the lifetime of the probe.
The Elcometer probe placement jig is the ideal accessory for measuring coatings on small or complex components when the
highest levels of repeatability and accuracy are required.
Each probe placement jig is supplied with a probe housing and a component holder to suit Scale 1 or Scale 2 straight probes.

The Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge Ultra/Scan Probe has been designed with a highly durable replaceable cap to eradicate probe wear and allow scanning of
large surface areas - increasing measurement speed from 70 readings per minute to greater than 140, without affecting the gauge accuracy or damaging the coating.

Calibrating the Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge with Ultra / Scan Probe is really easy. Simply select the Auto Repeat Mode and follow the on-screen prompts to
ensure the highest level of measurement accuracy. The Elcometer 456’s patented offset feature ensures any cap wear during use is incorporated within the calibration
procedure.

The Elcometer 456 Dry Film Thickness Gauge can measure the thickness of a coating on smooth, and on rough or blast coated substrates; and there are a number of
calibration methods for each substrate profile – including Zero, Smooth, and Rough or 2 Point.

When using the Elcometer 456 Dry Film Thickness Gauge to measure the thickness of a coating on smooth substrates, a quick and simple method of calibrating the gauge
is the Zero, or single-point calibration method.
ISO 19840 simply states that if a blast profile is unknown, you should calibrate on smooth steel and then subtract a predefined correction value from the measurement
taken on the coated surface.
The Elcometer 456’s patented zero offset calibration automatically subtracts this correction value from the measurement, so you don’t have to.
