The premature corrosion of a substrate is often due to the failure of it's coating. Major causes of failure are flaws in the finished coating, these include pinholes, holidays, inclusions, thin spots and bubbles.

The Elcometer 236's convenient carrying case allows the probe handle and accessories to be attached to the front making the Elcometer 236 ideal for field, site or laboratory inspection.

An accessory pouch, which accommodates the additional rechargeable battery (optional) can also be attached to the soft carrying case - thereby extending inspection time without the need for recharging the unit.
