Keywords Coatings, Elcometer, Gauge, Steel

Elcometer Instruments Ltd has a new, simple, electronic coating thickness gauge in its Elcometer 345 family of gauges for use on steel structures (Plate 6).

The Elcometer 345 2-key gauge combines a new rugged, "big foot", integral probe design with a calibration feature which, when selected, allows the direct reading of thickness over blast cleaned, roughened steel/iron substrates.

The gauge can be switched between metric (microns) and imperial (mil/thou) units and has a range upto 1,500 microns (60 mil/thou). Housed in the proven, hand size, robust case, the gauge is supplied with a splashproof cover and is intended for general construction site work.
