Engineered for Type-2 electronic coating-thickness gauges, these Certified Plastic Shims enable users to check gauge performance across standard thicknesses (1-60 mils) under field or lab conditions. Packaged individually in protective sleeves, each shim includes both metric and imperial labeling and a calibration certificate. A smart investment for quality control.

DeFelsko Certified Plastic Shims (STDCSS / STDCS set)

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.

Features

Certified & Traceable

Each shim or set comes with a Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST or equivalent.

Wide Range of Thicknesses

Eight foils ranging from 25 µm (1 mil) up to 1500 µm (60 mils) to cover low to high coating-thickness checks.

Metric & Imperial Labels

Each shim is clearly labeled in both µm/mm and mils to simplify use in differing measurement systems.

Durable & Protective Packaging

Each shim is in its own protective sleeve, set comes in a complete set; helps maintain accuracy and prevent damage.

Economical Alternative to Metal Plates

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.
