    Paint Inspection Gauge - P.I.G.

    This document summarizes four products from Elcometer that are used to measure coating thickness on substrates: 1) The Elcometer 141 uses a cut to measure thickness of individual layers in multi-layer coatings. 2) The Elcometer 121 is similar but also tests coating adhesion and hardness. 3) The Elcometer 195 uses a drill instead of a cut to measure coatings on small areas or multiple layers. 4) The Elcometer 126 uses a tip placed in a hole to measure coating thickness portably.

    ELCOMETER – PAINT INSPECTION GAUGE

    The Elcometer 141 Paint Inspection Gauge

    Used to measure the thickness of a coating system. A cut of known angle is made and the
    thickness of each layer revealed and measured. Can be converted to a cross hatch
    adhesion cutter.
    The Elcometer 121 Universal Paint Inspection Gauge

    Similiar in design to the Elcometer 141, the Universal P.I.G. but also includes Buchholz
    Hardness and cross hatch adhesion.

    The Elcometer 195 Saberg Drill

    Instead of a cut, the Saberg Drill makes a hole with a known angle. Ideal for measurement
    on small areas &can measure multiple layers of coating.
    The Elcometer 126 Dial Thickness Gauge

    Portable, easy to use instrument for measuring the coating thickness. A sample is
    prepared where the coating has been carefully removed - without damaging the substrate.
    The tip is placed in the hole and the thickness read off the scale.

    Elcometer 141 Paint Inspection Gauge

    Destructive thickness measurement is not only often the only


    guaranteed method available to test certain coating/substrate
    combinations such as paint applied to concrete, wood, plaster etc, but
    also the only method to identify individual layer thicknesses of a multi-
    layer coating system.

     The Elcometer 141 PIG offers a quick, versatile method of


    coating examination and measurement in a portable, easy to
    use instrument. Ergonomically designed to give a balanced
    weight distribution for a more consistent cut.
     Large easy to grip handle - allows the operator to cut thick or
    hard coatings easily
     Internal cutter storage compartment
     x50 magnification direct measurement microscope
     Metric and Imperial Versions

     Can be adapted into the Elcometer 107 Cross Hatch Cutter

    Elcometer 121 Paint Inspection Gauge and Elcometer 121/2
    Universal PIG

    For some combinations of coating and substrate it is necessary to use


    a destructive measurement method. The Elcometer 121 & 121/2 Paint
    Inspection Gauges are designed for this application.

     Battery powered illumination with the built-in microscope


     Fully portable and robust

    The Elcometer 121/2 Universal PIG (shown here on the right) provides
    the user not only with a PIG but also:

     Cross Hatch Cutter - for coating adhesion

     Buchholz Hardness Tester - to measure coating hardness

    Elcometer 195 Saberg Drill and Elcometer 126 Dial


    Thickness Gauge

    For some combinations of coating and substrate it is necessary


    to use a destructive measurement method. Whereas the Paint
    Inspection Gauges (PIG) make a cut along the coating, the
    Elcometer Saberg Drill makes a small hole to measure the
    individual coating layer thicknesses of a multi-layer coating.

    Minimal coating damage during test

     Fully portable and robust


     Measures coatings up to 1500 microns (60 mil)
     Used in conjunction with gradicule scale microscope or
    the Elcometer 126 Dial Inspection Gauge

    Elcometer 126 Dial Inspection Gauge

    This portable , easy to use instrument has a broad based foot


    and is fitted with a hard tip. The tip is placed a hole or the hole
    generated by the Elcometer 195 and the dial indicates the
    coating thickness.

    Can be used in accordance with BS EN 3900-CS-5B, ISO


    2808-5B, ASTM D4138.
