Coating thickness measurement is of growing importance in the paint and corrosion protection industry, as is conformance to regulations and standards such as SSPC-PA2, a specification that describes procedures to measure the thickness of a dry film (DFT).
As the useful life expectancies for structures such as bridges, ships, pipelines and water tanks have increased, detailed inspections during or after the paint application process have become the norm. SSPC-PA2 provides a uniform way for industrial painting contractors, facility owners and third party inspectors to evaluate these coating projects.
