Overview

Direct measurement of the total coating thickness or individual coatings eg. a primer and top coat.

Measurements on virtually any substrate are possible; aluminium, steel, plastic, wood, or glass.

Substrate condition, coating adhesion, microscopic cracking, brittleness, blistering and intercoat

adhesion can also be measured using the built-in 50 x illuminating microscope.

The V-groove is viewed through the microscope and measured using an optical scale.
