Elcometer 550 Non Contact Uncured Powder Thickness Gauge - Technical Specifications

Elcometer 550 Non Contact Uncured Powder Thickness Gauge Standards

The Elcometer 550 Mark 11 offers the User an unrivalled approach to measuring uncured powder thicknesses - without touching the powder.

The Elcometer 550 Mark 11 is designed to provide the user with the correct value of the cured film thickness by the measurement of the uncured powder thickness - enabling the application system (powder guns, line speed, etc) to be set up and fine tuned.

  • Improves quality and saves you money

  • Fast, easy to use

  • Metric and Imperial versions

  • Works on any rigid surface

The Elcometer 550 Mark 11 is a coating thickness gauge that uses unique ultrasonic technology to measure uncured powder coatings without contacting the surface and predicts the final thickness of the coating after cure.

The gauge has been designed for measuring the thickness of uncured powder coatings on smooth flat or curved metallic surfaces such as steel, aluminium, etc. The shrinkage that occurs when the powder cures in the oven is allowed for in the calibration of the gauge and the thickness displayed is the final coating thickness after cure.

Features

  • Uses ultrasonic technology to measure the thickness of the uncured powder coating, without touching the surface.

  • Can be used on all metallic surfaces, with all commercial powders.

  • Helps to easily avoid edge runs and orange peel effect by improved monitoring and control.

Operation

  • The probe is positioned about 17 mm (¾") away from the surface to be measured and the Measure Button is pressed. The gauge's LEDs, on both the front panel and the probe, indicate the position and alignment of the probe relative to the surface.

  • One set of LED's indicate distance.

    • If the middle LED is lit the distance is correct.

    • If the LED's to the right are lit the probe is too far away.

    • If the LED's to the left are lit the probe is too close.

  • The other set of LED's indicate the alignment of the reflected ultrasound. For optimum measurement the probe must be aligned at 90º to the surface.

    • If all the LED's are illuminated the alignment is correct.

    • When the position of the probe relative to the surface to be measured is optimised, the gauge will automatically take readings.

  • As the readings are taken the count is displayed on the gauge.

  • Press the measurement button again to stop the measurement.

  • After about one second the gauge will display the predicted cured powder coating thicknesess.
