Elcometer 311 Automotive Refinishing Gauge for Body Shops, Used Car Dealers, Detailers - DUAL MODE (Steel and Aluminum)

Product Description

The Elcometer 311 Milgage gives you the FASTEST digital readout of paint thickness on steel and aluminum car panels available. Patented auto-switching technology also allows for the FASTEST alternation between steel and aluminum panels, while indicating what surface you are on.
The Elcometer 311 has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of today's automotive market. Ideal for newer, highline automobiles. Pre-calibrated on steel and aluminium car body panels, the Elcometer 311 is very easy-to-use. Checkpieces are supplied with each instrument to verify its performance. How Can I Tell Which Gauge Type Is Right for Me? In selecting the most appropriate gauge for your application, you need to answer a few specific questions. 1. What is the substrate (the surface metal) you are coating/inspecting? Is the metal a Ferrous Substrate (F) or a Non-Ferrous (NF)? Sometimes this is difficult to answer - the substrate may have already been coated. The easiest way to identify this is to see if a magnet will stick to the surface. If it does, the substrate will be Ferrous, if it does not, the substrate is NonFerrous. 2. Is this the only substrate you measure on? If you only inspect one type of product, then the answer is yes. If you have a range of products that you inspect, then you need to consider whether they are all the same type of substrate. You should also consider if you have a future possibility of inspecting other substrates. If so, you should consider an FNF gauge.
