Product Description Elcometer 550 Non-Contact Powder Thickness Gauge, this gauge includes a laser guide to help detect and keep consistent measuring distances. As a result, the number of readings and the speed at which they are completed are significantly increased. By carefully controlling the thickness of powder applied to a product, you can minimize your powder usage and ensure the quality of your coating. As contact measurement solutions damage the finish and do not predict the cured coating thickness, measuring the powder thickness pre-cure requires a non-contact solution. Using third generation proven airborne ultrasonic technology, the new Elcometer 550 accurately predicts cured coating thickness by non-contact measurement of coating powders. Accurately predicts the cured coating thickness within ± 5% of the reading or ±0.25mils (±5µm) Ergonomic gun designed for comfort when taking multiple readings Hand held sensor allows easy positioning of the gun for fast measurement Large illuminated colour display with positioning graph to guide orientation of sensor probe Tough aluminium case, ideal for testing in an industrial environment Easy to Use Easy to read, large colour display Adjustable screen brightness for all test conditions Ergonomic probe – ideal for continuous testing Can be used straight out of the box with minimal set up time On-screen guidance graph and handle LEDs help you orientate the probe sensor for fast, accurate measurements. Reliable Fast, accurate and repeatable results Can be used in accordance with ASTM D7378-Procedure C Proven, 3rd Generation, airborne ultrasonic technology User-programmable setup to account for varying powder shrinkage rates Enhanced Technology Measure thicknesses from 1.18 – 4.4mils (30 – 110µm) 0.04 sq in (1mm²) measurement area – ideal for flat, curved and small surfaces Test coatings on a wide range of substrates, including metal, wood, MDF, plastic and pre-coated surfaces Technical Specifications – Elcometer 550 Non-Contact Powder Thickness Gauge Part Number Description A550—-4 Elcometer 550 Non-Contact Powder Thickness Gauge Display 3½ inches (90mm) QVGA Colour LCD Power Supply Rechargeable NiMh battery, up to 7 hours continuous use Measurement Range 1.18 – 4.4mils (30 – 110µm) Resolution 0.04mils (1µm) Measurement Accuracy ±0.25mils (±5µm) or ±5% of the coating thickness, whichever is greater Measurement Offset Distance 0.71″ (18mm) from the coated substrate Measurement Area 0.04sq in (1mm²) Operating Temperature Range 50°F to 95°F (10°C to 35°C) Units µm / mils switch-able Dimensions 4.6 x 7.4 x 1.4″ (115 x 185 x 35mm) Weight 1.9lbs (900g) Packing List Elcometer 550 Gauge with rechargeable battery universal charger unit and cable sensor gun and lead shoulder harness reference block USB-PC transfer cable carry case test certificate operating instructions
