DeFelsko Plastic Shims for Coating Thickness Gauge: A Cost-Effective Alternative to Coated Metal Plates Certified Plastic Shims (foils) offer a cost-effective solution to coated metal plates with a reduced accuracy of ±2 µm (±0.08 mil). These shims can be measured with a coating thickness gauge when placed on a smooth metal surface (zero plates). Non-Certified Plastic Shims (foils) provide a quick operational check of the instrument and allow users to practice measurements when placed over metal. Non-Certified Plastic Shims (foils) can also be used on an uncoated metal substrate, but are not recommended for use with magnetic pull-off gages. Here are some features of DeFelsko Plastic Shims for Coating Thickness Gauge: Simulate a coating over a particular substrate material or shape. Gage performance can be conveniently verified regularly as required by some international test methods For use with all Type 2, electronic coating thickness gages Protects the probe from damage or premature wear when placed over hot or abrasive surfaces Can be placed on top of soft or tacky coating films to obtain thickness measurements without the gage probe depressing the coating film Dimensions: 3 x 8 cm (1 x 3 inches)
