Everything you need to know about handheld coating thickness gauges
Ensuring precision and quality with accurate coating thickness gauges.
Coating thickness measurement is a fundamental part of manufacturing, especially for products whose performance or durability depends on reliable coatings. In certain applications, special coatings are the effective solution for mechanical functions, attractive surfaces or corrosion protection.
However, coatings must be applied exactly according to the specifications of the end user of the product. This requires an accurate coating thickness gauge that can take precise measurements during the production process. The measuring instrument plays a key role in quality control, as it checks the required quality in the manufacture of high-end products, and thus contributes to safety, efficiency, aesthetics, and much more.
Basics of a coating thickness gauge.
A coating thickness gauge is an instrument that measures the thickness of a coating applied to a surface. This device is used in the manufacture of products or in technical processes where a specific coating thickness is required to comply with legal regulations or customer specifications. Determining the thickness of a coating is important because it affects the durability, performance and appearance of the entire product.
Accurate coating thickness measurements are also crucial for understanding the capabilities and quality of the coating. High-quality measuring instruments offer a high degree of flexibility in analysing coating thickness without damaging the material. In addition, these devices ensure compliance with the international standard ISO 2808:2019 for measuring paint and coating layers.
