The contractor’s essential tool for fast, accurate and reliable coating thickness measurement. The EC500A eliminates guesswork with automatic substrate detection, making it the ideal workhorse for automotive, fabrication, and general contracting applications.
The EC500A is the perfect solution for:
Quickly verify paint thickness for used car assessments, repairs, and quality checks.
Ensure coating specifications are met on structural steel, railings, and metal fixtures.
Perform fast pass/fail checks on production lines and incoming parts.
Confirm coating thickness during application to prevent costly over- or under-application.
For Rough Surfaces, For High Precision, For Non-Metals and For Tight Spaces
Trust lab-grade precision; featuring 0.1μm resolution and NIST certification for critical aerospace validation.
Get into the tight spots; this pen-style probe measures inside pipes and on curved surfaces others can’t reach.
Master non-destructive testing on plastics and composites with advanced ultrasonic technology.
Work fearlessly in extreme heat; take measurements directly on surfaces up to 150°C in foundries.
Cut inspection time on rusted steel and shipyards measures up to 500μm without any surface prep.
A smart upgrade; use our durable, high-performance probes with your existing Elcometer 456 base.
Simplify quality control; its one-button operation delivers instant pass/fail results right on the line.
