Why you need a calibrated coating Thickness Gauge before testing

Coating Thickness Gauges are instruments used to measure the thickness of coating films. Accurate measurement results are important for evaluating the quality of coating construction and coating performance. However, coating Thickness Gauges are affected by many factors during use, such as the accuracy of the instrument itself, the temperature, humidity and electrostatic charge of the operating environment. These factors can lead to errors in the measurement results of coating Thickness Gauges.

Therefore, calibration is required before coating measurement with a coating Thickness Gauge. Calibration can be done by the following steps:

• Check the battery of the coating Thickness Gauge for sufficient power, damage or aging.

• Check that the probe of the coating Thickness Gauge is clean, smooth and free of damage and stains.

• Select the appropriate calibration standard sample (such as steel plate, aluminum plate, etc.) according to the paint type to ensure that the surface of the sample is smooth, uniform and flat.

• Attach the coating Thickness Gauge probe to the surface of the standard sample and calibrate according to the instrument instructions.

The calibrated coating Thickness Gauge can measure the thickness of the coating film more accurately and improve the reliability and accuracy of the measurement results. North-South Tide reminds you that the calibration of the coating Thickness Gauge should be carried out regularly to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results.
