A paint thickness gauge is used to measure dry film thickness. A painting job requires precision and accurate coating technique to make it long lasting. It is necessary to gauge the right thickness of the paints to evaluate the expected life of the coating, performance, and appearance of a product, and ensure compliance with a host of international standards. The Paint Thickness Gauge is equipment which can help in ascertaining the correct layer thickness and therefore help in making the job seamless and error-free. Also, the thickness gauge does not employ any descriptive methods used before to test the paint thickness. The gauge uses electronic testing methods which are quite non-destructive and also provides cumulative results.   Tips to choose the right paint thickness gauge In industries, manufacturers use paint thickness gauge to make sure their products are of required standards. Here are what to look for when choosinga thickness gauge: ·     ...

Measuring the coating thickness is an essential practice that contributes todetermining the quality of the product, its process control and pricing. There are many different instruments that can be used in measuring the thickness of the coating. In order to understand the instrument which is being used in measuring the thickness of a coating, it is important to know the working technique of a coating thickness gauge. There are several factors that determine the method that is best while using the coating thickness gauge and these factors include the type of coating, the substrate material, the thickness of the coating, the shape and the size of the coating etc. These factors help in the process of using the coating thickness gauge. For different materials and thickness, different techniques are used. Here we have mentioned the popular techniques. So scroll down and check out: §   Magnetic Film Thickness Gauges: It is used in the non-destructive method of finding the thickn...

The right equipment and service can make a difference in your project’s results and turnaround time. If you require non-invasive scanning of a subsurface, consider a ground penetrating radar service, which can help speed up the progress of your project while ensuring accurate results. Ground penetrating radar (GPR), is currently the most advanced non-destructive testing method for scanning what is located underground. Here are six reasons why this service is great: No need to excavate – Engineers used to order excavations or rely on schematics to determine what is beneath the surface. Ground penetrating radar eliminates the need to excavate the ground. The device is not likely to miss on certain details, and the service itself is more cost-effective and faster than excavations. Good for many applications – GPR uses electromagnetic waves, to bounce off any objects they hit underground. The signals then bounce back to the device and the exact location of the objects...
