StandardDetails

This International Standard reviews and specifies a number of methods that are applicable to the measurement of the thickness of organic coatings applied to a substrate. It does not apply to metallic coatings. Some of the techniques described can be adapted for the measurement of the thickness of detached coatings. The principles of the methods, their particular field of application and the expected precision are given in table 1. This International Standard also defines terms concerning the determination of film thickness.
