1 ABOUT YOUR GAUGE

The Elcometer 415 Coating Thickness Gauge is a handheld gauge for fast and

accurate measurement of the thickness of coatings on smooth, flat, unblasted

metal substrates.

Your gauge features an easy to use menu-driven graphical interface which guides

the user through tasks such as gauge configuration and calibration adjustment.

The probe in your gauge is suitable for measurement on ferrous steel and on non-

ferrous aluminium substrates.

These instructions include images of Elcometer 415 screens with units set to

microns (µm). Similar screens will be seen when the gauge is set to mils.

a. The Elcometer 415 is not suitable for use on blasted substrates. For this application, contact Elcometer for informa-

tion on the Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge.
