MECHANICAL COATING THICKNESS GAUGE (BANANA GAUGE): 0-1000µm (A211F–1M)
The Elcometer 211 Coating Thickness Gauge, commonly referred to as the “Banana Gauge”, is a Type I instrument designed to measure dry film thickness.
Mechanical Coating Thickness Gauges are suitable for working in high risk areas such as high temperature or flammable atmospheres, underwater or where the risk of explosion is high and could be triggered by the use of an electronic instrument. The Elcometer 211, also called the “banana gauge” provides accurate measurements and is ideal for cold and underwater surfaces.

The Banana Gauge is ideal for use in environments where the use of electronic instruments is difficult, e.g. inflammable atmospheres in oil and gas production, and for underwater* dry film coating thickness inspection.
This is one of the most popular mechanical coating thickness gauges in the world.
* Underwater use voids the warranty and users should replace the gauges periodically

Calibrated and ready for immediate use
The Elcometer 211 is factory calibrated with user calibration adjustment and also comes with foils to check calibration on site.
Small and portable with ±5% accuracy
Available in either Metric or Imperial versions, the Elcometer 211 measures coatings up to 6mm (250mils).
Ideal for use in a range of environments
Ideal for environments where the use of electronic instruments is difficult, e.g. inflammable atmospheres in oil and gas production, it can also be used for underwater* coating inspection. The “V” grooved base also makes it ideal for pipeline inspection.
