Ensuring Coating Quality: Coating Thickness Measurement in India
At INSPECTION TECHNIC, we provide trusted coating thickness measurement services to help industries maintain high standards of durability and protection. This non-destructive technique is crucial for checking if protective coatings on metal surfaces meet required specifications. Whether it’s for oil & gas, construction, manufacturing, or marine, coating inspections help prevent corrosion and extend the life of equipment and structures.
What is Coating Thickness Measurement?
Coating thickness measurement determines how thick a coating is on a metal or other surface—without causing damage. It ensures coatings provide proper protection against corrosion, wear, and environmental exposure.
We use several advanced methods:
Magnetic Induction – For non-magnetic coatings on steel or iron. A probe creates a magnetic field, and the response is measured to calculate coating thickness.
Eddy Current – Ideal for non-conductive coatings on materials like aluminum and copper. The method tracks changes in electromagnetic response.
Ultrasonic – Works on various surfaces including metals, plastics, and wood. Sound waves are sent through the coating; the time it takes to bounce back gives us the thickness.
How Does Coating Thickness Measurement Work?
Surface Preparation – We clean the coated surface for accurate readings.
Method Selection – We choose the best measurement method based on the substrate.
Probe Application – A device probe is placed on the surface to record measurements.
Data Interpretation – Results are analyzed against industry standards.
Reporting – A detailed report is prepared with results and recommendations if needed.
Applications in Indian Industries
Oil and Gas: We inspect pipelines, tanks, and pressure vessels to prevent internal failures and maintain safety at every stage
Construction: X-ray testing is used to verify the quality of welds and components in bridges, buildings, and infrastructure—keeping projects solid and safe.
Manufacturing: High-pressure machinery and components undergo radiography checks to confirm quality before use or installation.
- Power Generation: Inspecting turbine blades, boiler tubes, and critical assemblies to maintain stable and efficient operations.
- Marine: Coatings on ships, docks, and marine assets are inspected to ensure durability against saltwater and humidity.
Benefits of Coating Thickness Measurement
