Elcometer 211 Magnetic Coating Thickness Gauge / The "Banana" Inspection gauge
Product Description
Regarded as one of the most popular mechanical coating thickness gauges in the world, the Elcometer 211 Magnetic Coating Thickness Gauge – The “Banana” / Inspection Gauge, commonly referred to as the “Banana Gauge”, has proven to be a successful coating thickness gauge where the use of electronic instruments is difficult, eg. inflammable atmospheres in oil and gas production as well as for underwater* dry film coating thickness inspection.
- Factory calibrated – with user calibration adjustment
- Foils supplied to check calibration on site
- Ideal for cold surfaces and underwater use
- Small and portable with an accuracy ±5%
- The “V” grooved base, ideal for pipeline inspection
- Available in either Metric or Imperial versions, the Elcometer 211 measures coatings up to 6mm
* Underwater use voids the warranty and users should replace the gauges periodically
The Elcometer 211 Magnetic Coating Thickness Gauge can be used in accordance with:
- ISO 2178*
- ISO 2808-6A
- ISO 2808-7A*
- AS 2331.1.3
- AS 3894.3-A
- ASTM G 12

- BS 5411-11*
- BS 3900-C5-6A*
- DIN 50981*
- NF T 30-124
- SSPC-PA2
*Standards not in bold have been superseded but are still recognised in some industries
