Ready to Use
Calibrated and ready for immediate use
The Elcometer 211 is factory calibrated with user calibration adjustment and also comes with foils to check calibration on site.
Accurate
Small and portable with ±5% accuracy
Available in either Metric or Imperial versions, the Elcometer 211 measures coatings up to 6mm (250mils).
Versatile
Ideal for use in a range of environments
Ideal for environments where the use of electronic instruments is difficult, e.g. inflammable atmospheres in oil and gas production, it can also be used for underwater* coating inspection. The “V” grooved base also makes it ideal for pipeline inspection.
