Accuracy, repeatability and functionality – the Elcometer 480 range of handheld glossmeters allows you to measure Gloss, % Reflectance & Haze with ease. We understand that no two inspections are the same – it is for this reason that the Elcometer 480 is equipped with three measurement modes: 🔸 Standard Mode: Take an individual spot measurement 🔸 Scan Mode: Scan the surface to provide the average, highest and lowest reading 🔸 Auto-Repeat Mode: Automatically measures individual readings at a user-definable … Read More
Casting Defects: The effect it has on Turbines and how we can detect this through Ultrasonic Testing Several potential casting defect types can reduce overall material integrity which can, worst-case scenario, lead to catastrophic failure, no matter how mature or technologically advanced they may be. It is therefore, important to test cast parts on turbines as they are likely to obtain large and unpredictable mechanical forces. Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is often the quickest and most cost-effective means of detection for … Read More
With oil prices set to rise further in 2022, it is predicted that the cost of running a diesel compressor could rise over 65% by the end of the calendar year. Having already experienced increased fuel costs – are you considering how you can modify your blast system to reduce financial impact whilst maintaining high performance and quality? Elcometer’s Performance Blast Machines have been designed to reduce fuel costs by minimising frictional pressure losses across the system. Their unique airflow … Read More

As you’d expect for a universal problem that presents anywhere metals are used, there are a multitude of different methods used to assess the extent of corrosion in assets. Regardless of the method used, an inspector will be looking to answer three important questions: ❓ Where – is the corrosion happening, and how bad is it? 🗣️ A very common type of corrosion inspection is a grid map. In a grid map, the area to be tested is divided into … Read More
Through time, a pipeline experiences various chemical, thermal and mechanical forces which puts the pipe at risk of experiencing significant degradation. This has the potential to cause a costly industrial accident if not rectified, making it ever more important to test for corrosion and erosion within pipes or other curved surfaces. To ensure reliable results when testing on various applications, there are a couple of things to consider: 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗿 Selecting the right ultrasonic transducer for … Read More

While other corrosion gauges may only offer a numerical display for the thickness of the material under test, the CG100ABDL+ is equipped with a powerful A-Scan capability that allows an inspector to measure, not only how thick a … Read More
The Elcometer 130 SSP is the only soluble salt meter that measures both the concentration and density profile of soluble salts on the surface, allowing you to identify both the average and actual concentration of salt at any given point under the filter paper in either 2D or 3D. So why is this important? Take a look and see what Dan Carrington has to say in the short video below. #Elcometer #Coatings #CoatingInspector #SurfacePreparation
