Product Description

Certified Plastic Shims. 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. Certified shims provide an economical alternative to Coated Metal Plates but have a reduced accuracy. Each shim is packaged in its own protective plastic pouch. Certificate of calibration showing traceability to NIST is included with each shim or set of shims. Certified and labeled in both metric and imperial units. Accuracy: +/- 2 micrometer (+/- 0.08 mils). Set includes with thickness: 25 micrometer (1 mil) CS1 orange shim; 50 micrometer (2 mils) CS2 red shim; 75 micrometer (3 mils) CS3 green shim; 125 micrometer (5 mils) CS5 blue shim; 250 micrometer (10 mils) CS10 brown shim; 500 micrometer (20 mils) CS20 yellow shim; 1000 micrometer (40 mils) CS40 white shim; 1500 micrometer (60 mils) CS60 black shim.
