The Elcometer 131 Inspection Mirrors (H131-1A, H131-1B, H131-1C) are telescopic mirrors for examining difficult to access areas during inspection, such as inside pipes, behind corners and underneath inspection tanks. Many coating and component checks fail simply because the inspector cannot see the surface in question; a telescopic mirror brings awkward, inaccessible areas into view so they can be assessed properly.
Each model of the Elcometer 131 Inspection Mirrors extends to bring the viewing point closer to the area under inspection and pairs with the wider range of Elcometer test equipment for a detailed examination of the component or project. The H131-1A extends from 520mm to 1500mm with a 63mm mirror diameter and weighs 650g. The H131-1B extends from 165mm to 925mm with a 57mm mirror and weighs 100g. The H131-1C extends from 165mm to 750mm with a larger 82mm mirror and also weighs 100g, so the choice depends on the reach and field of view required for the Elcometer 131 Inspection Mirrors.
Used in coatings inspection and general surface inspection across industries such as marine, oil and gas and structural maintenance, the Elcometer 131 Inspection Mirrors are supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised distributor.
