Calibration standards & Shims

Certified coating thickness standards are essential tools for verifying the calibration and proper operation of coating thickness gauges. Widely used in both ISO-compliant and in-house quality control programs, these standards help ensure measurement accuracy and consistency across all applications. Typically provided as precision shims, they allow users to perform quick operational checks on their instruments, helping to identify any drift or inaccuracies. Additionally, they serve a protective function for probes when measuring on challenging surfaces, such as tacky, rough, or hot coatings. Regular use of certified standards promotes reliable measurements, reduces errors, and supports adherence to stringent quality requirements.
