Measurement Tester Methods

There are five basic, non-destructive methods of coating thickness measurement. Each method was devised to achieve cost-effective, accurate, and repeatable results. Those methods are:

Eddy-current

Eddy-current coating measurement is a versatile and dependable method that utilizes the principles of electromagnetic induction to measure non-magnetic, metallic coatings over steel, and non-conductive coatings over non-ferrous metals.

Magnetic induction

Magnetic induction uses a permanent magnet to create a field for measuring surface thickness of non-magnetic coating over a steel substrates.

Microresistance

Microresistance is ideal for thru-hole and surface copper measurements.

Beta backscatter

Beta backscatter is a versatile coating thickness measurement technique that utilizes electron emissions to deliver accurate readings.

X-ray fluorescence

The unmatched accuracy of X-ray fluorescence measurement is ideally suited for small or odd-shaped components, or dual coatings.

Each method is particularly suited to a specific coating(s)/substrate combination. Please feel free to contact us to discuss the best method for your needs and keep up with all the recent technological developments from OICM
