Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge – Cementitious Substrates
Fast and accurate, the Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge takes repeatable and reproducible dry film thickness measurements of coatings on concrete up to 10mm‡ thick – without damaging the coating.
Taking over 60 readings per minute in standard mode and 140+ readings per minute in scan mode; the Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge allows users to inspect more coatings in less time. With a choice of intelligent, ergonomic probes, designed for continuous use and field replaceable probe tips you can inspect all day, everyday.
The built in signal strength indicator on the Elcometer 500 Coatings on Concrete Gauge prevents false or incorrect readings, as the gauge only displays the coating thickness measurement if the signal strength indicator goes green.
Robust, ergonomic and sealed against dirt and water, equivalent to a rating of IP54, the Elcometer 500 Concrete Coating Thickness Gauge has been designed to work in harsh environments.
Incredibly easy to use, the Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge for concrete can be used in accordance with ASTM D6132, SSPC PA9 & ISO 2808 Method 10.
Compatible with ElcoMaster® software and ElcoMaster® Mobile App, individual coating thickness measurements can be transferred via USB or Bluetooth® to PC or a mobile device for analysis and instant report generation.

Description
Fast
Measuring over 60 readings per minute in standard mode and over 140 readings per minute in scan mode, the Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge can significantly reduce your inspection times.
Intelligent
The Elcometer 500 Coatings on Concrete Gauge measurement probes are supplied with user replaceable probe tips. If the tip is damaged or wears during use you can replace it and carry on.
The gauge even informs you when you need to change the probe tip, maximising inspection time.
Reliable
The Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge will only display the coating thickness reading if the signal strength indicator turns green, preventing false or incorrect readings.
If the coating thickness is outside the measurement range, the Elcometer 500 Concrete Coating Thickness Gauge tells you on the display.
Easy to Use
There is no need to set up gates, range values or know the thickness of the coating, simply select the coating material from the gauge library and start measuring.
Ergonomic
The Elcometer 500 Coatings on Concrete Thickness Gauge and intelligent probes have all been ergonomically designed for continuous use. No force is required to take a reading.
Rugged
Robust, ergonomic and sealed against dirt and water, equivalent to a rating of IP54, the Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge has been designed to work in harsh environments, making it the ideal gauge for the laboratory or the job site.
Elcometer 500 Coating Thickness Gauge Model B The Elcometer 500 Model B Coating Thickness Gauge accurately measures the thickness of coatings on concrete and other similar substrates – non destructively. Taking over 60 readings per minute.
