Certified Polystyrene Block
Coating Thickness Standards

by DeFelsko


The best standards for verifying calibration, accuracy and operation
 of magnetic, eddy current or ultrasonic coating thickness gages.

DeFelsko polystyree blocks as coating thickness standards

Overview

Certified Polystyrene Blocks are for use with gages that measure over 1500 µm (60 mils) with an accuracy of ±(2.5 µm + 0.05% of thickness) or ±(0.1 mil + 0.05% of thickness).

Certified polystyrene blocks are ideal for verifying the accuracy and operation of coating thickness gages and are an important component in fulfilling both ISO and in-house quality control requirements.

Many organizations require verification of gage accuracy at the test site each time a coating thickness gage is put into service and at frequent intervals during use. Ideal for this purpose, DeFelsko certified coating thickness standards have measured values traceable to a National Metrology Institution.

  • Used to verify the accuracy and operation of any Type 1 (mechanical) and Type 2 (electronic) magnetic, eddy-current or ultrasonic coating thickness gages.
  • Ideal for use in the calibration lab, in the field or on the factory floor.
  • Polystyrene thickness standards consist of 4 blocks supplied in a rugged acrylic storage box.
  • Individually serialized for traceability to NIST or PTB - includes a Certificate of Calibration.
  • Certified and labeled in both Metric and Imperial units.

Specifications & Ordering Guide

Select the Standard that most closely matches the measuring range of your gage.
All certified standards are supplied with a Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST or PTB. Dimensions: 38 x 70 mm (1.5" x 2.75")
