Checking coating thickness accurately helps identify areas where a protective coating may be too thin or too thick. The Elcometer 456 is a digital dry film thickness gauge designed for fast and repeatable measurements on metal substrates.
With different probe configurations, data storage and USB/Bluetooth connectivity, it can support coating inspection across a wide range of industrial applications.
The gauge can provide more than 70 dry film thickness readings per minute, helping speed up repetitive inspections.
Interchangeable probes allow the gauge to be configured for different substrates, surfaces and measurement requirements.
USB and Bluetooth connectivity supports data transfer to ElcoMaster software and the ElcoMaster mobile app.
Its compact design makes it suitable for both field inspections and production-floor coating checks.

The Elcometer 456 can support coating inspection for:
The probe and gauge configuration should match the substrate, coating and inspection requirements.
For measuring non-magnetic coatings on ferromagnetic substrates such as steel.
For measuring non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous metal substrates.
Provides ferrous and non-ferrous measurement capability in one gauge configuration.
Provides convenient single-handed operation for suitable coating inspections.
Allows a wider choice of interchangeable probes for different surfaces and applications.
Regular measurements help identify coating areas outside the required thickness range.
Different probe options support inspection across various surface shapes and conditions.
Fast readings and large storage capacity help streamline repetitive inspections.
USB and Bluetooth connectivity helps transfer inspection data for digital reporting.
Stored readings and batch organisation make results easier to review and manage.
