The Elcometer Protective Inspection Kit for Hazardous Areas (part number YKIT-HAZARD-1M) is a protective coating inspection kit assembled for use in hazardous areas where electronic equipment is prohibited. In refineries, tank farms and similar sites, electronic gauges may not be permitted near flammable atmospheres, so the Elcometer Protective Inspection Kit provides on-site coating inspection using non-electronic tools instead.

The Elcometer Protective Inspection Kit supplies all the tools required to inspect a coating on site, covering surface inspection, surface profile, surface contamination, climatic conditions, coating thickness and adhesion. Contents include the Elcometer 128 pictorial standards and the Elcometer 125 surface comparators for grit and shot, the Elcometer 122 Testex tape in coarse and extra coarse with the Elcometer 124 dial thickness gauge for surface profile, the Elcometer 131/1C telescopic inspection mirror, the Elcometer 134 Chlor*Test surface testing kit, the Elcometer 113 magnetic thermometer and Elcometer 116 whirling hygrometer with the Elcometer 114 dewpoint calculator for climatic readings, the Elcometer 112 hexagonal wet film comb, the Elcometer 211 thickness gauge, and the Elcometer 107 cross hatch full kit with tape, brush and eye glass for adhesion. The case of the Elcometer Protective Inspection Kit measures 495 x 420 x 175mm.

The products in the Elcometer Protective Inspection Kit are not tested and approved for use in hazardous areas, so site management should be consulted before it is used. The Elcometer Protective Inspection Kit can be used in accordance with a wide range of standards, including SSPC-PA2 and SSPC VIS 1 to VIS 5, NACE RP0287, ASTM D 4417-A and ASTM D 4417-C, ISO 8501-1, ISO 8503-2 and ISO 2178, among others. Used in coatings inspection on refineries, marine and offshore structures, the Elcometer Protective Inspection Kit is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised Elcometer distributor.
