Coating Thickness Standards

Certified Coated Metal Plates & Certified Polystyrene Blocks

Certified coated metal plates and polystyrene blocks are ideal for verifying the accuracy and operation of coating thickness gages and are an important component in fulfilling both ISO and in-house quality control requirements.

Many organizations require verification of gage accuracy at the test site each time a coating thickness gage is put into service and at frequent intervals during use. Ideal for this purpose, DeFelsko certified coating thickness standards have measured values traceable to a National Metrology Institution.

Zero Plates available for both Certified Coated Metal Plates and Certified Polystyrene Blocks.

Features

Used to verify the accuracy and operation of any Type 1 (mechanical) and Type 2 (electronic) magnetic, eddy-current or ultrasonic coating thickness gage
Ideal for use in the calibration lab, in the field or on the factory floor
Standards with steel or aluminum substrates consist of 4 plates mounted in a protective binder
Polystyrene thickness standards consist of 4 blocks supplied in a rugged acrylic storage box
Individually serialized for traceability to NIST or PTB – includes a Certificate of Calibration
Certified and labeled in both Metric and Imperial units
