The Elcometer 224 Digital Surface Profile Gauge is a high precision instrument designed to measure surface profile quickly, accurately, and consistently on blasted steel and other prepared metal surfaces. Its rugged design, advanced data management features, and compliance with international standards make it ideal for coatings inspection, manufacturing, and quality assurance.

Surface profile is a critical factor in coating adhesion and long term performance. The Elcometer 224 ensures accurate peak to valley measurements, helping inspectors verify that surfaces meet specification before coating application.

Measurement Modes

The Elcometer 224 offers three inspection modes to suit different testing requirements.

Custom Mode

Configure the gauge to take either 5 or 10 readings per inspection point. Display and save the average, highest, or lowest reading for each set.

Standards Mode

Automatically follows the measurement procedure required by the selected international standard, reducing operator error and ensuring consistent inspections.

Immediate Mode

Capture individual peak to valley measurements while automatically calculating key statistics. Reading limits can be set to provide instant pass or fail alerts during inspection.
