    • Elcometer 500 Concrete Coating Thickness Gauge taking readings

      Fast

      Measuring over 60 readings per minute in standard mode and over 140 readings per minute in scan mode, the Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge can significantly reduce your inspection times.

      Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge Intelligent Probes

      Intelligent

      The Elcometer 500 Coatings on Concrete Gauge measurement probes are supplied with user replaceable probe tips. If the tip is damaged or wears during use you can replace it and carry on.

      The gauge even informs you when you need to change the probe tip, maximising inspection time.

      Elcometer 500 Concrete Coating Thickness Gauge - Stability Indicator

      Reliable

      The Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge will only display the coating thickness reading if the signal strength indicator turns green, preventing false or incorrect readings.

      If the coating thickness is outside the measurement range, the Elcometer 500 Concrete Coating Thickness Gauge tells you on the display.

      Fast and accurate, the Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge takes repeatable and reproducible dry film thickness measurements of coatings on concrete up to 10mm thick – without damaging the coating.

      Taking over 60 readings per minute in standard mode and 140+ readings per minute in scan mode; the Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge allows users to inspect more coatings in less time. With a choice of intelligent, ergonomic probes, designed for continuous use and field replaceable probe tips you can inspect all day, everyday.

      The built in signal strength indicator on the Elcometer 500 Coatings on Concrete Gauge prevents false or incorrect readings, as the gauge only displays the coating thickness measurement if the signal strength indicator goes green. 

      Robust, ergonomic and sealed against dirt and water, equivalent to a rating of IP54, the Elcometer 500 Concrete Coating Thickness Gauge has been designed to work in harsh environments.

      Incredibly easy to use, the Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge for concrete can be used in accordance with ASTM D6132, SSPC PA9 & ISO 2808 Method 10.

      Compatible with ElcoMaster® software and ElcoMaster® Mobile App, individual coating thickness measurements can be transferred via USB or Bluetooth® to PC or a mobile device for analysis and instant report generation.

      The Different Modes of Calibration

      The Elcometer 500's user calibration adjustment procedures are fully traceable to National and International Standards.

      Elcometer 500 Coating Thicknesss Gauge - Material Library1. Coating Material Library

      The Elcometer 500’s advanced measurement technology means that you no longer need to know how thick the coating should be before taking a reading, and you don’t need to set any measurement gates. Simply switch on the gauge, select the coating from the calibration library, and take a reading – it is that easy.

      Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge - 1 Point Calibration2. Material Thickness Calibration

      To obtain the greatest measurement accuracy, the Elcometer 500 can be calibrated using the 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.

      Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge - Velocity Calibration3. Sound Velocity Calibration

      The Elcometer 500 can be calibrated by entering the speed of sound from the Product Datasheet available from the coating manufacturer.
