| Certified Standards |
|
| ** (See ordering information for PN): S, P, and A Series - Detailed Ordering Information - Certified coating thickness standards 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. Polystyrene thickness standards consist of 4 blocks supplied in a rugged acrylic storage box | |
| CALCSS: Plastic Shims PS series - Detailed Ordering Information - Certified Plastic Shims (foils) provide an economical alternative to coated metal plates. They have a reduced accuracy of ±2 µm (±0.08 mil). A coating thickness gage measures shim thickness when this shim is placed over a smooth metal surface (zero plate). Alternatively, they can be placed over an uncoated metal substrate. They are not suitable for use with magnetic pull-off gages. | Non-Certified Standards |
| SHLOW: SH Low plastic shims 1-10 mils | |
| SHHIGH: SH High plastic shims 15-60 mils | |
