The Elcometer Protective Coating Inspection Kit 6 is the most comprehensive kit in the range, incorporating the key gauges and inspection accessories needed to assess a structure before, during and after a coating has been applied. It is built for full lifecycle inspection where every stage has to be documented, since a coating that is not checked through the whole process can fail in service without a clear record of where it went wrong.
The kit covers material thickness, surface inspection, weld inspection, surface cleanliness, surface profile, climatic conditions, coating thickness, adhesion and pinhole detection. Contents include the Elcometer MTG2 material thickness gauge, the Elcometer 128 pictorial surface standards and Elcometer 131 inspection mirrors, the Elcometer 137 illuminated magnifier, the Elcometer 144 paint safe marker pens, the Elcometer 147 Cambridge weld gauge, the Elcometer 142 dust tape test kit, the Elcometer 138 Bresle kit with Elcometer 135 Bresle patches, the Elcometer 122 Testex replica tape and Elcometer 124 dial thickness gauge for surface profile, the Elcometer 319 digital dewpoint meter, the Elcometer 224 digital surface profile gauge, the Elcometer 112/3236 wet film combs, the Elcometer 456 digital coating thickness gauge, the Elcometer 121 paint inspection gauge with cross hatch, and the Elcometer 270 pinhole detector at 9, 67.5 and 90V.
The Elcometer Protective Coating Inspection Kit 6 can be used in accordance with an extensive list of standards, including SSPC PA 2 and SSPC VIS 1 to VIS 5, NACE RP0287, NACE SP 0188 and NACE TM0384, ASTM D 4417-C, ASTM D 5162-A holiday detection, ISO 8501-1 and ISO 8502 cleanliness methods, ISO 2360 and many others, letting inspectors report against the codes their projects require. Used in coatings inspection across marine, structural steel and protective coating work, it is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised Elcometer distributor.

When to use the Elcometer Protective Coating Inspection Kit 6
Kit 6 is the comprehensive option for assessing a structure before, during and after coating from a single case. It carries the gauges and accessories for material thickness, surface inspection, weld inspection, surface cleanliness, surface profile, climatic conditions, coating thickness, adhesion and pinhole detection, for inspectors who need every parameter on hand.
- 1Covers before, during and afterIt holds the instruments to inspect a structure across all three stages of a coating job, so the work does not stall waiting on a second kit or a separate gauge.
- 2Includes pinhole detectionPinhole detection finds holidays in the cured film, the kind of defect that lets corrosion start under an otherwise sound coating.
- 3Adds material thicknessMeasuring the underlying material thickness lets you assess the substrate itself, not only the coating laid over it, in the same inspection round.
- 4Backed by the relevant standardsThe kit conforms to a wide set of ISO, ASTM, SSPC and IMO standards across its parameters, so each measurement maps to a recognised method on the QC record.
