The Elcometer 137 Illuminated Magnifier (H137-1) is a battery powered magnifier for assessing the characteristics of a surface at close range. A closer inspection is often needed to establish the exact condition of a material's profile or cleanliness, and many working environments are in low light or dark areas such as ballast tanks and oil and gas tanks, so a magnifier with its own light source is the practical tool for the job.
The Elcometer 137 Illuminated Magnifier provides x10 magnification for close surface inspection and a scaled lens, allowing surface features to be measured directly. The Elcometer 137 Illuminated Magnifier is well suited to viewing surface comparators, where a single segment can be examined in detail against the test surface. The unit is lightweight and portable, measuring 33 x 215mm and weighing 236g, and is powered by three LR14 (C) batteries.
Used in coatings inspection and surface preparation, and a standard tool in the flooring and waterproofing industry, the Elcometer 137 Illuminated Magnifier is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised distributor.
