Elcometer 456 Thickness Gauge is divided into 3 types: B (basic type), S (standard type), T (advanced type), from the original Elcometer 456B type to the current 456T type. In addition, it is also divided into integral and split Thickness Gauges.
The split Thickness Gauge provides a variety of probes (probes need to be purchased separately), making measurement more maneuverable.
The British Elcometer 456 A456CNBS split eddy current Thickness Gauge is a basic split eddy current coating Thickness Gauge with a thickness measurement range of 0~30mm.
