Elcometer 1720 Tools

The Elcometer 1720 can perform tests according to many standards and test methods simply by changing abrasive tools. The tools are not supplied as standard with the new Elcometer 1720 and must be ordered separately. Samples can be tested by a combination of methods to dry and wet conditions.
