Methods We Use for Coating Thickness Measurement
We utilize industry-approved NDT techniques based on material type and coating application:
- Magnetic Induction (Ferrous Substrates) Used for measuring paint, enamel, or plating on steel and iron.
- Eddy Current Testing (Non-Ferrous Metals) Ideal for coatings on aluminum, copper, stainless steel, etc.
- Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging Used for multi-layer coatings or thick protective films.
- Cross-Section Microscopy (Destructive Method – If Required) Precise lab-based thickness measurement under a microscope.
- Digital Coating Thickness Gauges Portable high-accuracy instruments for field inspections.
