Coating thickness range

The measurement of coating thickness is of crucial importance in many industrial sectors in order to ensure the quality of coatings on various substrates. The coating thickness range can vary depending on the area of application and the specific requirements.

Coating thickness measurement methods can use different approaches to cover the desired range. The range extends from thin to very thick coatings. The selection of the appropriate method depends on various factors, including the type of substrate, the type of coating and the precision required for the measurement.

For example, mechanical methods such as probes or templates may be suitable for thinner coatings, while non-destructive methods such as ultrasound, eddy current testing or X-rays allow greater penetration depth and can therefore be used for thicker coatings.

Overall, the accurate determination of the coating thickness range plays a crucial role in quality assurance and process control in industries such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, electronics manufacturing and many other areas where coatings play an important role.
