The coating thickness measurement test is used to assess, through non-destructive methods, the thickness of the coating applied to a given article or substrate. It is a very important test because it often determines the quality of the coating process.
Measuring the thickness of the coating is an essential part of the process analysis. It ensures that you are working within the regulations and according to the required quality standards.
For this reason, carrying out tests to assess the thickness of the coating is particularly suitable, both at the sampling stage and as quality control of the finished product.
The instrument used for this type of test is called a coating thickness gauge, and its use is indispensable even in the most demanding product sectors, such as automotive and shipbuilding.
The standard governing this test is ISO 2360.
