Elcometer 211 Mechanical Coating Thickness Gauge
The Elcometer 211 Coating Thickness Gauge, commonly referred to as the “Banana Gauge”, is a Type I instrument designed to measure dry film thickness. Ideal for environments where electronic devices are difficult to use, e.g. It can be used in flammable atmospheres in oil and gas production, also for underwater coating inspection.
The Elcometer 211 is one of the most popular mechanical coating thickness gauges in the world.

Description
This is one of the most popular mechanical coating thickness gauges in the world.
- Factory calibrated – with user calibration adjustment
- Foils supplied to check calibration on site
- Ideal for cold surfaces and underwater use
- Small and portable with an accuracy ±5%
- The “V” grooved base, ideal for pipeline inspection
- Available in either Metric or Imperial versions, the Elcometer 211 measures coatings up to 6mm (250mils)
* Underwater use voids the warranty and users should replace the gauges periodically
