Features & Benefits Improves quality and saves you money Fast, easy to use Metric and Imperial versions Works on any rigid surface Standard features: Uses ultrasonic technology to measure the thickness of the uncured powder coating, without touching the surface. Can be used on all metallic surfaces, with all commercial powders. Helps to easily avoid edge runs and orange peel effect by improved monitoring and control.

The Elcometer 550 Mark II is a coating thickness gauge that uses unique ultrasonic technology to measure uncured powder coatings without contacting the surface and predicts the final thickness of the coating after cure. The Elcometer 550 Mark II offers the User an unrivalled approach to measuring uncured powder thicknesses - without touching the powder.

The Elcometer 550 Mark II is designed provide the user with the correct value of the cured film thickness by the measurement of the uncured powder thickness - enabling the application system (powder guns, line speed, etc) to be set up and fine tuned.

The gauge has been designed for measuring the thickness of uncured powder coatings on smooth flat or curved metallic surfaces such as steel, aluminium, etc. The shrinkage that occurs when the powder cures in the oven is allowed for in the calibration of the gauge and the thickness displayed is the final coating thickness after cure.
