STDCSS NIST Certified Plastic Shim Set, Includes 8 Size Shims

Our STDCSS is a set of 8 plastic shims that simulate a coating over a particular substrate

material or shape. The shims allow users to check coating thickness gauge performance

and help with calibration adjustment.

The shims can also be used to protect the probe from damage or premature wear when

placed over hot or abrasive surfaces. They can also be placed on top of soft or tacky

coatings to obtain thickness measurements without the probe having to make direct

contact with coating material.
