11 USING THE COATING CALIBRATION MOULD (continued)
5 When fully cured, using an Elcometer 456 ferrous coating
thickness gauge, measure and record the dry film thickness at the
centre of the coating in the sample chamber. The value can be
written on the dried coating in the overflow chamber.
The Elcometer 456 ferrous coating

thickness gauge must be calibrated on the
Elcometer 500 CCM, using a calibration foil
or shim and the base of the CCM as a zero
plate (d), prior to taking the dry film
thickness measurement. Refer to the
Elcometer 456 user guide for instructions on
how to do this.
6 Using the Elcometer 500 gauge with probe connected, select
Menu/Calibration/Cal Method/1 Point and take a measurement of
the coating in the sample chamber.
 The measurement should be taken in approximately the same location as the
dry film thickness measurement taken in Step 5.
Press 'Adjust' and using the 
7
the dry film thickness value measured with the Elcometer 456,
then press 'Set' to set the value.
8 Press 'Yes' to save into the 'User Materials' list for future
selection and insert an appropriate name for the coating.
The Elcometer 500 gauge can now be calibrated by using the 'Coating
Material' calibration method (see Section 10.5 on page en-19) and
selecting the user defined coating from the 'User Materials' list.
Up to 64 user defined coatings can be stored in the gauge memory.
Using ElcoMaster , saved 'User Materials' lists can be transferred to
other Elcometer 500 gauges, at any time.
