Dry Film Coating Thickness Meter - Destructive

Dry Film Coating Thickness Meter - Destructive are gauges that are used to measure coatings on non-metallic substrates such as concrete, wood, plaster and plastic. Destructive thickness measurement is often the only guaranteed method available to test certain coatings or substrates, and or 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. Designed for measuring on a non-metallic substrate or assessing the thickness of a multi-coat paint, Elcometer and BAMR offer a range of destructive coating thickness gauges such as the Elcometer 121/4 and Elcometer 141 that are portable and easy to use.
