Please correct my understanding. Consider I am having sample rough blasted surface, to calibrate my elcometer 456 I have to choose rough Rough/2point cal method and place two std foils on blasted surface and follow the cal procedure mentioned on the screen. If there is any mistake in my understanding please comment me
Thank you for your comment. Yes, for calibrating the Elcometer 456 on rough surfaces, you should use the rough calibration method, using two calibration foils, and follow the on-screen instructions. Here is a link to our video on how to calibrate the Elcometer 456 using the Rough Calibration method: ua-cam.com/video/LhW3nLR4Vg8/v-deo.html If you have any further questions, please contact techsales@elcometer.com or visit www.elcometer.com/contact-us to find your local Elcometer distributor.
Can I use this to measure curved surface? My plant has loads of cylindrical rolls with hard chrome surface that need periodic measurement of the chrome coating thickness
Hi, You can indeed measure curved surfaces using the Elcometer 456. It is also possible to measure the coating thickness of chrome on ferrous steel. Be sure to calibrate the gauge on an uncoated part of the cylinder. If you have any more questions, please get in touch at support@elcometer.com
I currently possess Elcometer 456 A456CFBS. Which is Calibrated by Local Calibration Center. But when probe is placed on uncoated test plate the values does not show Zero values, rather negatives values are shown. What could be the reason behind this?
How if DFT elcometer 456. Always Calibration please wait. On the screen. I wait long time always like that. So I can't to calibrate. What the something error. Please please help me...
Thank you for your comment. This sounds like it needs to be looked at by one of our repair centers. Please contact your local Elcometer distributor so they can service the gauge and probe. If you visit www.elcometer.com/en/contact-us.html you can find your local Elcometer distributor, and contact them via the form on our website, or via their external website where applicable.
Hi Kundan, The thickness range is defined by the range of the probe. For example, a scale 1 probe will measure 0-1500 microns whilst a scale 6 probe will measure up to 25mm

Thank you for your comment. If you are able to place a piece of uncoated steel, such as an Elcometer ferrous zero plate, behind the glass panel; an Elcometer 456 with a Scale 7 probe can measure up to 31mm thick, and would measure distance from the probe to the steel panel when the probe is placed on the other side of the glass. This measurement would include both glass panels and the air between them.
