Defelsko Certified Coated Metal Plates & Certified Polystyrene Blocks
Have questions about buying this product?
Certified coated metal plates and polystyrene blocks are ideal for verifying the accuracy and operation of coating thickness gages and are an important component in fulfilling both ISO and in-house quality control requirements.
Many organizations require verification of gage accuracy at the test site each time a coating thickness gage is put into service and at frequent intervals during use. Ideal for this purpose, DeFelsko certified coating thickness standards have measured values traceable to a National Metrology Institution.
- Used to verify the accuracy and operation of any Type 1 (mechanical) and Type 2 (electronic) magnetic, eddy-current or ultrasonic coating thickness gage
- Ideal for use in the calibration lab, in the field or on the factory floor
- Standards with steel or aluminum substrates consist of 4 plates mounted in a protective binder
- Polystyrene thickness standards consist of 4 blocks supplied in a rugged acrylic storage box
- Individually serialized for traceability to NIST or PTB – includes a Certificate of Calibration
- Certified and labeled in both Metric and Imperial units

Certified Coated Metal Plates
All certified standards are supplied with a Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST or PTB.
Plate Diameter: 38 mm (1.5″) Measurement Diameter: 25 mm (1″)
Certified Polystyrene Blocks
P1-P7 Blocks: 38 x 70 mm (1.5″ x 2.75″) P8 Blocks: 76 x 76 mm (3.0″ x 3.0″)
Plastic Shims
Certified Plastic Shims (foils) provide an economical alternative to coated metal plates. They have a reduced accuracy of ±2 µm (±0.08 mil). A coating thickness gage measures shim thickness when this shim is placed over a smooth metal surface (zero plate).
Non-Certified Plastic Shims (foils) provide a quick operational check of the instrument and they allow the user to perform practice measurements when placed over metal.
Alternatively, they can be placed over an uncoated metal substrate. They are not suitable for use with magnetic pull-off gages.
Shims overview:
- 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
- Dimensions: 3 x 8 cm (1 x 3 inches)
