Simulate a coating over a particular substrate material or shape.
Gage performance can be conveniently verified on a regular
basis as required by some international test methods
For use with all Type 2, electronic coating thickness gages
Protects the probe from damage or premature wear when
placed over hot or abrasive surfaces
Can be placed on top of soft or tacky coating films to obtain
thickness measurements without the gage probe depressing the
coating film

A package of 5 non-certified shims is included with all DeFelsko electronic coating thickness gages (Type 2).
Note: While
DeFelsko inspects non-certified plastic shims to ensure they are within
the nominal stated
accuracy, they are not traceable to any national or
international standard.
