The Elcometer 456 is a high-precision instrument used to measure dry film thickness (DFT) on ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces. It is widely used in industrial coating, painting, and inspection applications to ensure coating quality, compliance, and longevity. With interchangeable probes and fast measurement capability, it delivers reliable results on smooth, rough, and curved surfaces, making it ideal for both field and laboratory use.
Technical Highlights: Measurement rate: 70+ readings/min (140+ with scan probe) | Accuracy: ±1% | Measurement range: up to ~31 mm (probe dependent) | Memory: up to 150,000 readings in 2,500 batches | Data transfer: USB & Bluetooth (ElcoMaster® software) | Multi-model variants: B, S, T with increasing functionality | IP64 rugged, impact-resistant design.
Ideal for coating inspection, QA/QC, and compliance with international standards such as ISO and ASTM.
