Destructive thickness measurement is often the only guaranteed method available to test certain coating/substrate combinations including:

• Paint applied to concrete, wood, plaster, plastic, etc.

When it is necessary to measure the individual layer thickness in a multiple-layer coating system, the most accurate method available is the Paint Inspection Gauge (P.I.G.) coating thickness gauge.

Elcometer 121/4 Paint Inspection Gauge (PIG)

Elcometer 121/4 Paint Inspection Gauge (PIG)

The Elcometer 121/4 Paint Inspection Gauge (PIG) is an easy to use instrument that provides the user with a cutter, microscope and light all in one housing and is perhaps the most recognised form of PIG. The Elcometer 121/4 Paint Inspection Gauge (PIG) is a destructive coating thickness gauge used to measure multi-layer coatings The Top model also perform hardness and cross hatch adhesion tests with a single gauge. It is lightweight and compact and easy to use in confined areas. It is also rugged and durable and made from anodised aluminium for durability. It has a Bright LED light source ensuring clear vision through the integrated microscope. It is often referred to as the Tooke Gage (Gauge). Range : 2-2000mic. Conforms to ISO, ASTM, BS

Elcometer 141 Paint Inspection Gauge

Elcometer 141 Paint Inspection Gauge (PIG) (2 models in 1)

The Elcometer 141 Paint Inspection Gauge (PIG) is a quick, versatile method of examination and measurement of individual coatings in a multi-coat systems where colours are different. It is a portable, easy to use instrument and ergonomically designed to give a balanced weight distribution for a more consistant cut - even on thick and hard coatings. It is supplied with 3 Tungsten "V" Blades. By removing the handle & screwing on a Cross Hatch blade to the handle the model becomes a Cross Hatch Cutter ie a very low cost conversion. It has 3 scales : 20 - 2000, 10 - 1000 & 2 - 200 mic. Conforms to ISO, ASTM, BS

Elcometer 195 Saberg Drill

Elcometer 195 Saberg Drill

Whereas a Paint Inspection Gauge (P.I.G.) makes a linear cut along the coating, the Elcometer 195 Säberg Drill makes a small hole in order to measure the coating thickness layer thus much less damage is done - minimising the area that is not covered by the coatings guarantee. It is ideal for crumbling substrates.

Elcometer 126 Dial Thickness Gauge

Elcometer 126 & Elcometer 3240 Dry and Wet Film Gauges

The Elcometer 126 & Elcometer 3240 Dry and Wet Film Gauges are easy to use gauges are designed to measure both the Dry Film and the Wet Film thickness of a coating. Conforms to ISO, ASTM, BS
