International. A new development in coating thickness gauges was presented by the company Elcometer, with the 456 that allows users to automatically compare the values of the specification of the thickness of a coating, visualize trend graphs, store individually in the memory time and date of thickness readings.
The indicators can even transfer data wirelessly to a mobile cell phone, recording GPS coordinates to get more accurate information about where the measurement was taken.
This technology also presents improvements in the reading rate that reaches 140 per minute, accelerating the measurements in a coated iron or in a non-ferrous metal substrate.
In addition, the company ensures that each Ultra/Scan probe was designed to take a "snapshot on the 'replaceable end cap'", so that the sliding action required to achieve a scan of a coated surface does not cause any wear on the sensor tip, crucial to maintain the accuracy of the probe during its useful life.
