Non-destructive measurement of dry film thickness is now more accurate, faster and much easier on concrete than ever before, thanks to the new Elcometer 500 Coatings on Concrete Inspection Kit.
Housed in a sturdy, protective carry case and containing all the equipment required for on-site inspection of coatings on concrete and other similar substrates.
Supplied with both C1 & C2 probes, the Coatings on Concrete Inspection Kit allows the inspector to measure up to 9mm (355mils) on cemtitious substrates.
How to Measure Coatings on Concrete using the Elcometer 500 Dry Film Thickness Gauge:
The Elcometer 500 Concrete Coating Thickness Gauge can also measure film thickness on substrates including plasterboard, drywall, concrete block, brick etc. without damaging the coating.
The coating material library feature simplifies the coating inspection process; there is no need to set up gates, range values or known thickness of the coating. Just select the coating material from the gauge library and start measuring.
Key Features of the Elcometer 500 Coatings on Concrete Inspection Kit:
The Elcometer 500 Coatings on Concrete Inspection Kit includes:
† A version of the kit without the Elcometer 456 is also available

1. Place the coating calibration mould on a flat surface and completely fill the sample chamber with test coating. | 2. Using the plastic scraper, scrape over the coating allowing the excess to fall into the overflow chamber. Allow the coating to dry. | 3. When fully cured, calibrate a ferrous coating thickness gauge on the side of the CCM then measure and record the dry thickness at the centre of the coating. |
4. Measure the same point using the Elcometer 500.

To obtain the greatest measurement accuracy, the Elcometer 500 can be calibrated using a known thickness of the coating to be measured. If a sample of known thickness is not available, the Elcometer 500 Coating Calibration Mould (CCM) can be used to create a coating of known thickness which is traceable to both national and international standards.

Typically, they use an ultrasonic sound pulse to determine the thickness of the coating. Sometimes the ultrasonic signal can be deflected or weakened by the substrate material or coating, so you won’t always get a reading instantly.
