Let’s Talk About Measuring Coating Thickness Destructively
Learn about destructively measuring coating thickness using a Tooke gage (or similar device) according to Procedure A in ASTM D4138
Dry Film Thickness
Let’s Talk About Continuous Read Dry Film Thickness Measurement
Continuous read/scanning technology is readily available and can be specified when a project would benefit from a greater population of thickness measurements to help ensure consistency of the applied coating across large surfaces.
Let’s Talk Measuring Intumescent (Fireproofing) Coating Thickness
In the case of CSP and intumescent systems, if they are not applied to the correct thickness across all surfaces of load-bearing steel members or panels/plates and there is a fire event, catastrophic collapse due to heat transfer to the steel can occur resulting in potential loss of life.
