The Elcometer Basic Digital Inspection Kit (part number YKIT-DIGITAL-B) is a portable set of entry level digital gauges that covers the three principal inspection requirements in the protective and industrial coatings industry: climate, surface profile and dry film thickness. Coating failures are frequently traced to work carried out in the wrong climatic conditions, over an inadequate blast profile, or at the wrong film thickness, so the Elcometer Basic Digital Inspection Kit gives the less advanced user a single case of equipment to check all three before and during application.
The Elcometer Basic Digital Inspection Kit contains an Elcometer 224 Model B integral digital surface profile gauge with a 0 to 500 micron scale range, taking 60 or more readings per minute, an Elcometer 319 standard dewpoint meter, and an Elcometer 456 Model B ferrous separate coating thickness gauge with a 0 to 1500 micron scale range, taking 70 or more readings per minute. The 319 displays relative humidity, surface temperature, ambient air temperature, dewpoint temperature, delta T, dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures, with a 10 reading rolling memory.
Both the 224 and 456 are impact, water and dust resistant equivalent to IP64, with an automatic rotating display at 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees, on-screen statistics, and user definable audible and visual pass or fail warnings. The gauges of the Elcometer Basic Digital Inspection Kit are stored in one hard plastic carrying case, supplied with calibration test foils, a glass zero tile, AA batteries, probe tip caps, wrist straps, test certificates and full operating instructions. Supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised Elcometer distributor.

When to use the Elcometer Basic Digital Inspection Kit
This is the entry level digital kit covering the three principal inspection checks in protective and industrial coatings work: climate, surface profile and dry film thickness. It suits a less advanced user carrying out routine site inspection who needs reliable gauges supplied together in one case.
- 1Covers the three core checksIt bundles the Elcometer 224 surface profile gauge, 319 dewpoint meter and 456 ferrous coating thickness gauge, so one kit handles climate, profile and dry film thickness instead of buying three instruments separately.
- 2Suited to the less advanced userThe gauges are entry level digital instruments with on-screen statistics and user definable pass/fail warnings, so an inspector new to the role can record consistent results and flag out-of-spec readings without interpreting raw numbers.
- 3Ready for daily site useThe gauges are water resistant equivalent to IP64 and ship in a hard protective case with calibration test foils, glass zero tile and a test certificate for each gauge, so the kit can be calibrated and used straight from delivery.
