coating thickness - destructive

Elcometer Home Page

Destructive thickness measurement is often the only guaranteed method available to test certain coating/substrate combinations including:

• Paint applied to concrete, wood, plaster, plastic, etc.

When it is necessary to measure the individual layer thickness in a multiple-layer coating system, the most accurate method available is the Paint Inspection Gauge (P.I.G.) coating thickness gauge.

Elcometer 195 Säberg Drill
