Measurement of coating or plating thickness on the surface of an article is
another eddy current
application. There are many currently available instruments which can perform
this function. Most instruments are self contained and can be used for
measurement of nonmagnetic coatings on a ferromagnetic base, or nonconductive
coatings on a conductive but nonmagnetic base.
Coating Thickness of both Ferromagnetic and Non Ferromagnetic Substrates:
Paint Thickness
Anodize Thickness
Plating Thickness
Clear Coat Thickness
Accuracy:
Microprobes NAS:
± (0.01 mil + 1%) 0-4 mils
± (0.1 mil + 3%) >4 mils
± (0.5 µm + 1%) 0 - 100 µm
± (2 µm + 3%) > 100 µm
