CERTIFIED 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
Certified Plastic Shims
• Certified shims provide an economical alternative to Coated Metal Plates but have a reduced
accuracy
• Certified Plastic Shims are available in the following thicknesses (all thicknesses are approximate):

Traceability: Each foil has been measured with an
external micrometer which has been independently
calibrated by a NAMAS Laboratory in accordance
with BS.870:1950.
The measurement is made in the center of the foil.
Each foil has the measurement printed on a label
attached to the foil.
