Epoxy Coating Thickness Measurement
Elcometer offers a wide range of coating thickness gauges to measure dry film thickness.
Epoxy coating thickness measurement. A primer a high builds basecoat and a topcoat. This guide below examines the most common epoxy floor systems used. They are composed of one coat of primer and 2 3 coats of ktisepox epoxy floor coating. Thin coat systems usually have a dry film thickness of 400 500 microns.
The thicker coatings are used to repair and rebuild concrete floors that are in bad shape. Coating thickness gauges. The thinner epoxy floorings are typically used for new concrete or concrete that is in decent shape and does not need a lot of repair work. Epoxy floor systems will tend to vary significantly in thickness depending on the intended use.
Shims can be placed over soft tacky coatings to prevent the gage probe from depressing the coating film. From basic economical gauges to advanced data logging models with wireless data output we have you covered. Super thick epoxy coating. The elcometer range of destructive coating thickness gauges includes the elcometer 121 4 paint inspection gauge the paint inspection gauge commonly known as the p i g is a popular method for determining dry film thicknesses on non metallic substrates.
Coating thickness is obtained by subtracting the shim thickness from the total measurement of the shim and the coating.
