The DeFelsko Certified Plastic Shims set offers an economical and convenient calibration alternative to coated metal plates. Eight color-coded polyester foils from 25 µm to 1500 µm simulate coatings over a metal zero plate. Certified to ±2 µm / ±0.08 mil with traceable calibration, the set is ideal for frequent verification of electronic dry film gauges.
DeFelsko’s STDCSS Certified Plastic Shim set provides eight distinct shim foils, useful for simulating coatings, protecting probes from harsh or hot surfaces, and verifying measurement accuracy. With ±2 µm accuracy and full set traceability to national standards, they support both routine calibration and contract compliance for dry film thickness measurements.
Each shim or set comes with a Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST or equivalent.
Eight foils ranging from 25 µm (1 mil) up to 1500 µm (60 mils) to cover low to high coating-thickness checks.
Each shim is clearly labeled in both µm/mm and mils to simplify use in differing measurement systems.
Each shim is in its own protective sleeve, set comes in a complete set; helps maintain accuracy and prevent damage.
Provides a lower-cost way to verify dry film gauges when full coated metal plate standards are not required. Slightly reduced accuracy, but sufficient for many QC tasks.
