Elcometer A456CFSI1 Integral Coating Thickness Gauge

Elcometer A456CFSI1 Coating Thickness Gauge: Standard Integral Probe for Ferrous Substrates

In quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) processes across structural steel, shipbuilding, mechanical manufacturing, and electroplating workshops, precise measurement of paint or plating thickness is mandatory to guarantee corrosion resistance. The Elcometer A456CFSI1 coating thickness gauge is a convenient integral probe device within the Standard range, delivering the perfect balance between measurement performance, data storage, and investment cost.

Outstanding Advantages of Elcometer A456CFSI1

The A456CFSI1 model fully inherits the peak mechanical accuracy of the UK along with an optimized design for field technicians:

Convenient Integral Probe Design: The probe is permanently integrated into the base of the gauge, allowing users to hold and operate measurements effortlessly with just one hand. This design is ideal for rapid testing, high mobility, or working on high scaffolding.

Specialized for Ferrous Substrates (The letter ‘F’): Utilizes the magnetic induction principle to accurately measure non-magnetic coatings (such as paint, powder coatings, plastics, epoxy, zinc plating, chrome plating, etc.) on iron, steel, and cast iron substrates.

Intelligent “Standard” Range Gauge (The letter ‘S’): The device features a memory capacity that stores up to 1,500 readings. Unlike the Basic range, the Standard range supports Bluetooth® wireless connectivity and a USB port to transmit data directly to the ElcoMaster® software on PCs or smartphones, enabling quick PDF report generation.

High-Precision Scale 1 (I1) Probe: Perfectly suited for general-purpose measurement applications with a range from 0 to 1500$\mu\text{m}$. The probe tip is engineered from ultra-durable sapphire material, offering excellent wear resistance when scanning rough metal surfaces.

Impressive Measurement Speed: Achieves a speed of over 70 readings per minute, significantly accelerating project acceptance workflows.

Technical Specifications

Typical Real-World Applications
