Coating thickness gauges (also referred to as a paint meter) are used to measure dry film thickness. Dry film thickness is probably the most critical measurement in the coatings industry. A coating thickness gauge provides vital information as to the expected life of the substrate, the product’s fitness for purpose, its appearance and ensures compliance

INDUSTRIAL GAMMA AND XRAY RADIOGRAPHY
Industrial Radiography or Radiographic Testing (RT) uses ionizing electromagnetic radiation to view objects in a way that can’t be seen otherwise. It is not to be confused with the use of ionizing radiation to change or modify objects; radiography’s purpose is strictly for viewing. It is a method of inspecting materials for hidden flaws by

SPARK / HOLIDAY DETECTION
Flaws such as pinholes, air bubbles, inclusions, cracks, void and thin spots can occur in a wide range of coating material used in industry. A pinhole although small can cause extreme damage by permitting corrosive materials to reach the base material. Lack of continuity of coating causes premature failure, which can be very expensive to

DYE PENETRANT TESTING
A low cost method of detecting surface breaking flaws, such as cracks, cold laps, porosity etc. the dye penetrant is drawn into the surface breaking flaw by capillary action and excess surface penetrant is then removed; a developer is then applied to the surface, to draw out the penetrant in the crack and produce a
