Overview of 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.

DeFelsko Non-Certified Plastic Shims
  • Provide a quick operational check of the instrument by allowing the user to perform practice measurements.
  • Can be used to protect the probe when measuring on tacky, rough or hot surfaces.
  • Labeled in both Metric and Imperial units.
  • Available as a set of 5 as shown.
  • 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.
