Professional Elcometer inspection tools used by Md Jakir Hossain – BGAS-CSWIP Grade-II Painting Inspector & NDT Level-II.
Model: Elcometer 456 – Digital Dry Film Thickness Gauge
Industry-standard dry film thickness (DFT) gauge for measuring coating thickness on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates. Available in separate and integral probe versions, it offers fast readings (70+ per minute), large memory and Bluetooth/USB connectivity to ElcoMaster® for professional reporting.
Model: Elcometer 224 – Digital Surface Profile Gauge
Digital gauge for measuring surface profile (anchor pattern) on blasted steel, both flat and curved. Provides fast and repeatable profile readings with internal memory and data output for traceable surface preparation records.
Model: Elcometer 124 – Replica Tape Thickness Gauge
Mechanical gauge used with Elcometer 122 Testex® Replica Tape to determine the peak-to-valley height of the abrasive blast profile. Available in metric and imperial versions with high resolution scale for accurate surface profile measurement.
Model: Elcometer 319 – Dewpoint / Climate Meter
Rugged multi-parameter climate meter designed to measure and record air temperature, surface temperature, relative humidity, dew point, ΔT and dry bulb temperature. Stores data for long-term monitoring and connects to ElcoMaster® for reporting.
Model: Elcometer 270 – Wet Sponge Pinhole Detector
Low voltage wet sponge pinhole detector for identifying pinholes and discontinuities in thin, insulating coatings (< 500µm) on conductive substrates. Uses a moist sponge to detect through-film defects without damaging the coating.
Model: Elcometer 280 – Pulsed DC Holiday Detector
High voltage pulsed DC holiday detector for locating holidays, pinholes and voids in thick coatings and linings, even on slightly damp or dirty surfaces. Features advanced safety, adjustable test voltage and a wide range of electrodes for various geometries.
Model: Elcometer 134 CSN – ‘CSN Salts’ Test Kit
Field kit designed to accurately measure surface chlorides, sulphates and nitrates in minutes. All components are pre-dosed and pre-measured, so the inspector can quickly determine soluble salt contamination with results in ppm or µg/cm².
Model: Elcometer 128 – Pictorial Surface Cleanliness Standards
High quality photographic plates used as visual reference to assess the cleanliness and preparation condition of steel surfaces. Includes ISO 8501-1, ISO 8501-4 and SSPC VIS 1–5 references for comparision after blasting or power tool cleaning.
Model: Elcometer 510 – Automatic Pull-Off Adhesion Tester
Automatic hydraulic pull-off adhesion gauge that measures the bond strength between coating and substrate. The gauge automatically controls the pull rate for consistent and repeatable results, with on-screen statistics, trend graphs and Bluetooth/USB data transfer to ElcoMaster®.
Model: Elcometer 107 – Cross-Cut / Cross-Hatch Adhesion Cutter
Manual cross hatch cutter providing an instant assessment of coating adhesion by making a lattice pattern through the coating to the substrate. Rugged body, non-slip grip and interchangeable 4-sided blades allow testing of a wide range of coating thicknesses.
Model: Elcometer 480 – Single / Dual / Triple Angle Glossmeter
High-precision glossmeter for measuring gloss, % reflectance and haze on high, semi-gloss and matt surfaces. Can measure multiple angles (20°/60°/85°) simultaneously, with fast reading rate and excellent inter-instrument agreement for reliable QC.
Model: Elcometer 2020 – Fineness of Grind Gauge
Precision stainless steel gauge with graded grooves used to determine the particle size and fineness of grind of paints, pigments, inks, coatings, chocolates and similar products. Available in various ranges (µm / mils) with certified versions for laboratory use.
Model: Elcometer 1800 – Stainless Steel Density Cup (Pycnometer)
Stainless steel precision density cup (pycnometer) used to determine the specific gravity or density of paints and similar liquids. Provides highly repeatable volume for accurate density calculation.
Model: Elcometer 2351 – FORD / ASTM Viscosity Cups
Anodised aluminium viscosity flow cups with stainless steel orifice designed to measure the consistency and flow time of paints, varnishes and related products. Results are usually expressed as seconds flow time and can be converted to cSt when required.
Model: Elcometer 4340 – Motorised Film Applicator
Laboratory motorised film applicator used to produce highly reproducible wet films of coatings on various substrates (contrast charts, metal panels, glass, foils). Heavy base, precision table and adjustable traverse speed minimise vibration and ensure consistent film thickness.
Model: Elcometer 5100 – Payne Permeability Cups
Anodised aluminium permeability cups used to determine the permeability or vapour transmission rate of unsupported films such as paints, varnishes, plastics and paper. Weight change over time is used to calculate permeance.
Model: Elcometer 3000 – Motorised Clemen Scratch Tester
Robust motorised instrument for evaluating the scratch resistance of coated surfaces. A tool with a hemispherical tip is gradually loaded and drawn across the sample to determine the load at which the coating fails. Suitable for metal, wood, glass, plastic and other hard materials.
Model: Elcometer 1510 – Conical Mandrel Bend Tester
Mechanical conical mandrel bend tester used to determine the effects of bending on the elasticity, adhesion and elongation of cured coatings on sheet metal. The panel is bent around a conical mandrel; the diameter at which cracking starts is recorded.
