Elcometer 456C Probe: for non-ferrous metals, scale 6, straight line

All Elcometer 456 probes are fully interchangeable to meet your specific needs and are available in a range of designs and scale ranges.

Ferrous (F)

• Iron gauges are used to measure non-magnetic coatings on iron-magnetic substrates.
• Elcometer 456 iron gauges are compatible with any iron probe.

Non-ferrous metal probes (N)

• Non-ferrous probes measure non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous substrates.
• Elcometer 456 Non-Ferrous gauges are compatible with any non-ferrous probe.

FNF Combination Probes

• FNF combination probes measure both ferrous and non-ferrous metals with automatic substrate recognition.
• The Elcometer 456 FNF gauges are compatible with all ferrous, non-ferrous and FNF combination probes.

High Temperature

• Elcometer probes have a maximum operating temperature of 80°C (176°F)*.
• Separate Elcometer ferrous probes have a maximum operating temperature of 150°C (300°F)*.
• High Temperature PINIP™ have a maximum operating temperature of 250°C (480°F)*.

* The temperature given is the substrate temperature and the time of use of the probe must be reduced to ensure a minimum temperature rise in the probe.

Ferrous probes measure non-magnetic coatings on ferrous substrates. The Elcometer 456 Ferrous gauges are compatible with any ferrous probe.

Non-ferrous probes measure non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous substrates. Elcometer 456 non-ferrous gauges are compatible with any non-ferrous probe.

FNF combination probes measure both ferrous and non-ferrous metals with automatic background detection. Elcometer 456 FNF gauges are compatible with all ferrous, non-ferrous and FNF combination probes.

Key Features

Straight

Straight Standard Probe Standard probes measure coatings on flat and curved surfaces.	Anodising probe Chemically resistant and washable for use in anodising.
Mini probes Mini probes are ideal for hard-to-reach places and edges.	Waterproof probes Sealed for underwater use, can also be used with diving gloves.
Soft coating probes Probes for large areas are designed for soft materials (HVCA approved).	Thick Coating Probes Ideal for measuring coatings up to 31mm thick.

Scan Probes

Standard Scan Probe For quickly scanning large areas without damaging the probe or surface.	Ball-bearing scan probe* Clamp-on adapters for large coated structures, coarse coatings or primers used in prefabrication.

Angle probes

Right-Angle Probes For collecting readings in areas with limited clearance.	Right-Angle Mini Probe For measuring coatings on edges, thin tubes or small areas.
Telescopic probes Telescopic probes for hard-to-reach areas.	45° angle probe For measuring areas that are difficult to access or have complex shapes.

PINIP™ (plug-in) probes

Integrated PINIP™ probe Converts a separate probe meter into an integrated meter ideal for one-handed use.	High Temperature PINIP For measuring coatings on ferrous substrates at temperatures up to 250°C (480°F).

Probes with armoured cable

F / FNF Armoured probe Reinforced, abrasion-resistant cables reduce the risk of cable damage.
