25 May 2020 News The Ultra / Scan to thickness gauge Elcometer 456 with an additional wear-resistant replaceable cap allows both individual measurements and scanning large areas of the surface without damaging the sensor or coating. Scanning sensors are currently available with the following measurement ranges (not including cap thickness): - Type F (magnetic metal) Scale 1 - up to 1500 microns - FNF type (magnetic and non-magnetic metal) Scale 1 - up to 1500 microns - Type F (magnetic metal) Scale 2 - up to 5 mm Using the Ultra/Scan sensor with the new Elcometer 456 modes-Scanning mode and auto-Repeat mode (available in the Elcometer 456 coating thickness meters model T) - allows you to significantly reduce the time to measure the thickness of coatings on large areas without reducing accuracy. Ultra/Scan sensors use the proprietary zero offset technology used in the Elcometer 456. This technology ensures that the degree of wear on the sensor cap during use* is taken into account during the calibration process. The device even tells the user when to replace the cap.
