The thickness in coating is directly responsible for quality of the product and also helps in the process control and the reduction in cost. The paint thickness are measured with several types of instruments and used within various painting industries and production units. The thickness is as important to the end user as well as to the manufacturer. The end user can know the control of quality test done during the making process through its descriptive specification. Incidentally the difference of opinion about the product specification and its thickness occurs when manufacturers and the end users use different type of measuring instruments.
Again several types of coating will need different kind of measuring instruments. The substrate coating, its thickness, costing and the shape and size are directly related to paint coating. Distinct measuring methods are put to use for destructive and non destructive dry-film, powder coatings and liquid coatings. In substances containing iron, magnetic gauges are normally used. Coatings on top of metals like steel and iron comply with this method. The thinner the coat the magnetic induction is strong compared to thicker coated metal. There are pencil types models with 10% forbearance, roll back dial models which are simple to operate in any position and feature a tolerance of 5%.
