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.
