The Elcometer range of mechanical coating thickness gauges provides cost-effective dry film thickness measurement. The Elcometer range of non-destructive coating thickness gauges includes mechanical and digital coating thickness gauges, suitable for dry film testing, complete with a wide range of probes and calibration foils to suit your application. The paint inspection gauge, commonly known as the P.I.G, is a popular method for determining dry film thicknesses on non-metallic substrates. The Elcometer range of destructive coating thickness gauges includes the Elcometer 121/4 Paint Inspection Gauge. Coating Thickness GaugesĮlcometer offers a wide range of coating thickness gauges to measure dry film thickness. Electromagnetic induction is used for non-magnetic coatings on ferrous substrates such as steel, whilst the eddy current principle is used for non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous metal substrates. Digital coating thickness gauges are ideal to measure coating thickness on metallic substrates. The non-destructive coating thickness measurements can be taken on either magnetic steel surfaces or non-magnetic metal surfaces such as stainless steel or aluminium. How to measure Dry Film Thickness?ĭry film thickness (DFT) can be measured using two methods: destructive thickness measurement, where the coating is cut to the substrate using a cutter and non-destructive coating thickness measurement, using techniques which do not damage the coating or the substrate such as magnetic, magnetic induction and eddy current thickness measurement methods. Dry film thickness measurements can be used to evaluate a coating’s expected life, the product’s appearance and performance, and ensure compliance with a host of International Standards. Dry film thickness is probably the most critical measurement in the coatings industry because of its impact on the coating process, quality and cost.
