DeFelsko Standards Non-Certified Plastic Shims
Non-Certified Plastic Shims
Non-Certified Plastic Shims (foils) provide a quick operational check of the instrument and they allow the user to perform practice measurements when placed over metal. They are not suitable for use with magnetic pull-off gages.
Overview of Shims
- Simulate a coating over a particular substrate material or shape. Gage performance can be conveniently verified on a regular basis as required by some international test methods
- For use with all Type 2, electronic coating thickness gages
- Protects the probe from damage or premature wear when placed over hot or abrasive surfaces
- Can be placed on top of soft or tacky coating films to obtain thickness measurements without the gage probe depressing the coating film
Non-Certified Plastic Shims
- Provide a quick operational check of the instrument by allowing the user to perform practice measurements
- Can be used to protect the probe when measuring on tacky, rough or hot surfaces
- Labeled in both Metric and Imperial units
- Available as a set of 5 (below)
