Coating Thickness Inspection Instrument

The coating thickness gauge measures the difference in physical properties between the substrate and the coating using magnetic induction or eddy current principles, displaying the thickness value digitally. It is used for detecting the thickness of coatings or platings on substrates such as metals and plastics, ensuring that the coating quality is controlled within the allowable range.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate material to match the probe type: magnetic induction for metals and eddy current for non-metals; ensure the measurement range covers the sample thickness; choose a small probe for curved surfaces; determine environmental requirements to decide if explosion-proof or portable models are needed; and ensure the calibration certificate meets industry standards.

Comparison of Coating Accuracy between Laboratory Blade Coater and Slot Die Coater
This article compares the coating precision of blade coaters and slot-die coaters in the laboratory. Blade coaters are suitable for thick coatings, with simple operation but relatively large uniformity errors; slot-die coaters offer higher precision and better uniformity for thin coatings. The choice of equipment depends on coating thickness and precision requirements.

Selection of wet film thickness gauge range and accuracy requirements for comb teeth spacing.
When selecting a wet film thickness gauges, the key considerations are the measurement range and the accuracy of the comb teeth spacing. The range should cover the coating thickness with a slight margin to avoid being too small for measurement or too large, which could reduce resolution.
Ultrasonic thickness gauge for detecting thick coatings and composite coatings.
Ultrasonic thickness gauges measure coating thickness using the principle of ultrasonic pulse reflection, calculating the result based on the propagation time of sound waves in the material and the speed of sound. When detecting thick coatings and composite coatings, challenges such as acoustic attenuation of the material, unknown sound speed, and signal recognition at multi-layer interfaces must be addressed.
Wet film thickness gauge measures the wet film thickness of varnish.
The wet film thickness gauge is a mechanical tool used to measure the thickness of liquid varnish coatings. It operates by rolling the gauge so that the tips of its teeth contact the substrate and leave marks. The thickness value is then obtained by the operator reading the scale of the first tooth that becomes coated with the varnish.
Application of Two-Step Method with Pre-Coating and Fine-Coating in Eliminating Bubble Defects for Dual-Blade Coater
The dual-blade coater employs a two-step method of pre-coating and precision coating to eliminate bubble defects during the coating process. In the pre-coating stage, high shear force is applied to break the bubbles in the slurry, causing them to rupture and rise to the surface. The precision coating stage then precisely controls the coating thickness, removing any remaining bubbles to form a uniform wet film.
