Key Features of the Elcometer 500 Concrete Coating Thickness Gauge:

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. Reliable The Elcometer 500 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 informs you on the display. Intelligent The Elcometer 500 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. Easy to Use There is no need to set up gates, range values or know the thickness of the coating, simply select the coating material from the gauge library and start measuring. Ergonomic The Elcometer 500 gauge and intelligent probes have all been ergonomically designed for continuous use. No force is required to take a reading. Rugged Robust, ergonomic and sealed against dirt and water, equivalent to a rating of IP54, the Elcometer 500 has been designed to work in harsh environments, making it the ideal gauge for the laboratory or the job site.

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.	Material Thickness Calibration To obtain the greatest measurement accuracy, the Elcometer 500 can be calibrated using a 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.	Sound Velocity Calibration The Elcometer 500 can be calibrated by entering the speed of sound from the Product Datasheet available from the coating manufacturer.

Once the gauge has been calibrated, the Elcometer 500 Concrete Coating Thickness Gauge has a measurement accuracy of ±2%.

T50027567-1 Elcometer 500 Coating Calibration Mould (CCM)

How to create a coating sample using the Elcometer 500 Coating Calibration Mould (CCM)

1. Place the coating calibration mould on a flat surface and completely fill the sample chamber with test coating.	2. Using the plastic scraper, scrape over the coating allowing the excess to fall into the overflow chamber. Allow the coating to dry.	3. When fully cured, calibrate a ferrous coating thickness gauge on the side of the CCM then measure and record the dry thickness at the centre of the coating.	4. Measure the same point using the Elcometer 500. Enter the dry film thickness measurement and save it in the Elcometer 500’s Coating Materials list.

By using the Elcometer Coating Calibration Mould the Elcometer 500 calibration is traceable to national and international standards. The user defined coatings can be transferred into the Material Coatings Library within ElcoMaster® for use, at any time, on any Elcometer 500 gauge. Select the coatings from your list and transfer them to any Elcometer 500 gauge.
