2、n the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the use of ultrasonic filmthickness gages to measure accu

3、rately and nondestructively thedry film thickness of organic coatings applied over a substrateof dissimilar material. Measurements may be made on fieldstructures, on commercially manufactured products, or onlaboratory test specimens. These types of gages can accuratelymeasure the dry film thickness

Summary of Test Method3.1 Instruments complying with this test method measurethickness by emitting an ultrasonic pulse into the coating thatis reflected back from the substrate to the probe. The trav

Significance and Use4.1 Many coating properties are markedly affected by thefilm thickness of the dry film such as adhesion, flexibility, andhardness. To be able to compare results obtained by differentoper

In addition to potential performance defi-ciencies, it is uneconomical to apply more material thannecessary when coating large areas such as floors and walls.4.3 Surface roughness can affect the accuracy of this te

A rough surface has a tendency to scatter the ultra-sonic pulse and odd readings may occur occasionally.4.4 This test method may not be applicable to measureorganic coating thickness on all substrates. The instrumentsability to detect a distinct interface between the coating and thesubstra

Calibration, Verification and Adjustment of Apparatus7.1 Although most ultrasonic instruments are pre-calibrated,accuracy should be verified by measuring a known thickness ofthe coating (reference standar

24、d) as determined by:7.1.1 Using a cross-sectioning method, or7.1.2 Nondestructively (that is, not destroying film integ-rity) removing and measuring the coating with a micrometer inaccordance with Test Method D 1005,or7.1.3 Cutting the product and comparing it to a shim ofknown thickness.7.2 Roughne

25、ss adversely affects accuracy. Therefore thereference standard should be smooth.7.3 Best calibration adjustment results are achieved oncoatings with a thickness equal to or greater than the coatingthickness range to be measured.NOTE 2The thickness of an organic coating can be determined inaccordance

26、 with the Test Method D 4138. While this is a destructive testmethod, it will provide an alternative test method to ensure measurementsmade in accordance with this test method are in the correct range.8. Procedure8.1 Use the instrument only after calibration has beenverified in accordance with Secti

27、on 7.8.2 Ensure that the coating is cured prior to use of theinstrument.8.3 Unless the coating is soft, a couplant may be required totransmit the ultrasonic pulse from the instruments probe intothe coating. Water is ideal for smooth, thin coatings. For roughcoatings, a glycol gel is best, provided i

28、t is not a contaminantfor the coating to be measured. Other liquids such as liquidsoap may be used. For specific information regarding the use ofcouplants, refer to the gage manufacturers instructions.8.4 Place the instruments probe flat on the surface andapply constant pressure. Hold the probe stea

31、li-bration adjustment, and9.1.4 Mean, and standard deviation of the thickness read-ings found.9.2 Depending upon the application, it may be useful torecord the individual readings as well. For rough substrates orcoatings, it is recommended to measure the coating in accor-dance with SSPC-PA2 or SSPC-

32、PA9.10. Precision and Bias410.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test method is basedon an interlaboratory study of Test Method D 6132 - 04,conducted in 2007. Each of eight laboratories tested sevendifferent coated panels using two types of instrumentation.Every “test result” represents an individual

33、determination. Alllaboratories reported two replicate test results for every panelwith each instrument. Practice E 691 was followed for thedesign and analysis of the data; the details are given inResearch Report No. D011144.10.1.1 Repeatability Limit (r)Two test results obtainedwithin one laboratory

38、 determining the bias for this testmethod, therefore no statement on bias is being made.10.3 The precision statement was determined through sta-tistical examination of 224 results, from eight laboratories, onseven coated panels. These seven coated panels were describedas the following:Panel 1: UV cu

40、edium-density fiberboard10.4 Each instruments default calibration setting was used.For best accuracy, each instrument should be checked againsta known thickness of the particular coating being measured andadjusted if necessary. To judge the equivalency of two testresults, it is recommended to choose
