Non-Certified Plastic Shims
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. They are not suitable for use with magnetic pull-off gages.
Overview of 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

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 (below)

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.
