18、. Significance and Use4.1 GeneralNo presently available thickness gauge is Most thickness gages are not applicable to all combinations ofcoating-substrate thicknesses and materials. The limitations of a particular instrument are generally delineated by its manufacturer.The substrate material and coa

19、ting combination to be measured as well as the inherent variations in the substrate and coating shallbe reviewed prior to selecting the instrument to be used and the measurement accuracy required.4.2 MagneticMagnetic-type gauges measure either magnetic attraction between a magnet and a coating or it

20、s substrate, orreluctance of a magnetic flux path passing through the coating and substrate. These gauges are designed to measure thickness ofa nonmagnetic coating on a magnetic substrate. Some of them will also measure thickness of nickel coatings on a magnetic ornonmagnetic substrate.64.3 Eddy Cur

21、rentEddy-current-type Eddy current-type thickness gauges are electronic instruments that measure variations inimpedance of an eddy-current eddy current inducing coil caused by coating thickness variations. They can only be used if theelectrical conductivity of the coating differs significantly from

22、that of the substrate.4.4 AccuracyThe accuracy of a measurement depends on the instrument, the foils, its calibration and standardization, and itsoperating conditions. The accuracy is also affected by the interferences listed in Section 5, such as part geometry (curvature),magnetic permeability, ele

23、ctrical conductivity, and surface roughness.NOTE 2This practice allows under ideal conditions may allow the coating thickness to be determined within 610 % of its true thickness or to within62.5 m (or 60.0001-in.), whichever is the greater. (See exceptions in Appendix X2.)5. Interferences5.1 Thickne

24、ss of CoatingThe precision of a measurement changes with coating thickness depending on method used andinstrument design. Generally, the precision is a percentage of the coating thickness except at the lower end of the ranges whereit is a fixed thickness.5.2 Magnetic Properties of Basis MetalMagneti

25、c thickness gauges are affected by variations of the magnetic properties of thebasis metal. For practical purposes, magnetic variations in low-carbonAISI 1005-1020 steels may be considered to be insignificant.To avoid the influences of severe or localized heat treatments and cold working, the instru

26、ment should be standardized using areference standard having a base metal with the same magnetic properties as that of the test specimen or, preferably and ifavailable, with a sample of the part to be examined before application of the coating.5.3 Thickness of SubstrateFor each method there is an ef

27、fective depth of penetration of field created by the instrument probe.This is the critical depth or thickness beyond which the instrument will no longer be affected by increase of substrate thickness.Since it depends on the instrument probe and substrate, it should be determined experimentally.5.4 S

28、tructure and Composition of Coating and SubstrateEddy-current Eddy current instruments are sensitive to variations ofstructure, composition, and other factors affecting electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability of the coating and substrate.For example, such instruments are sensitive to diffe

29、rences between: (1) aluminum alloys, (2) chromium coatings deposited atdifferent temperatures, and (3) organic coatings containing variable amounts of metallic pigments.5.5 Edge EffectAll examination methods are sensitive to abrupt surface changes of test specimens; therefore, measurementsmade too n

30、ear an edge or inside corner will not be valid unless the instrument is specifically standardized for such a measurement.The effect usually extends 3 to 13 mm (18 to 12 in.) from the discontinuity, depending on method probe configuration, andinstrument. Edge effect is usually a function of coil diam

33、easurements are sensitive to curvature of the specimen. This sensitivityvaries considerably between instruments and becomes more pronounced with increasing curvature.5.7 Smoothness of Surface, Including That of Base MetalSince a rough surface may make single measurements inaccurate,a greater number

34、of measurements will provide an average value that is more truly representative of the overall coating thickness.Roughness also may cause certain instruments to read high since their probes may rest on peaks.5.8 Direction of Rolling of Base MetalInstruments with two pole pieces may be sensitive to d

35、irection of rolling of the basemetal; that is, gauge readings may change depending on alignment of pole pieces with surface of specimen or part underexamination.5.9 Residual Magnetism in Base MetalResidual magnetism in base metal may affect readings of magnetic- and eddy-current-type eddy current-ty

36、pe instruments.5.10 Stray Magnetic FieldsStrong magnetic fields, as from arc welding, can seriously interfere with operations of certainthickness gauges.5.11 Cleanness of Probe and Test SurfaceMeasurements are sensitive to foreign material that prevents intimate contactbetween probe and coating surf

37、ace.5.12 Pressure of ProbeInstrument readings can be sensitive to pressure with which probe is applied to test surface.5.13 Probe PositionSome magnetic-type gauges are sensitive to position of probe relative to the earth. For example, operationof gauge in a horizontal or upside-down position may req

38、uire a new standardization or may be impossible.5.14 TemperatureEddy-current Eddy current instruments may be affected by temperature variations.6.

Calibration

45、and Standardization7.1 Each instrument should be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and standardized before use byemploying suitable thickness standards. Standardization should be checked at frequent intervals during use. Attention should begiven to Section 5 and Section 8.

46、7.2 Reference standards of uniform thickness are available in either of two types, foil or coated substrate, as supplied orrecommended by the manufacturer of the instrument. There are instances, however, where reference standards are made by otherthan instrument manufacturers.7.2.1 Standardization F

47、oils (Shims)Standardization foil is placed on the surface of uncoated base metal when standardizingthe instrument. Foils are advantageous for standardizing on curved surfaces and are often more readily available than a coatedstandard. To prevent measurement errors due to poor contact between foil an

48、d substrate, make sure of intimate contact betweenthem. Foils are subject to indentation and should, therefore, be replaced when damaged.E376 1737.2.1.1 Nonmagnetic foils may be used to standardize magnetic thickness gauges for measurement of nonmagnetic coatings.Nonconductive plastic foils can be u

49、sed to standardize eddy-current eddy current instruments for measurement of nonconductivecoatings.7.2.1.2 Resilient foils should not be used if there is possibility that the instrument probe will cause a change in thickness reading.Use of two or more foils on top of each other should be avoided unless flexibility of thin foils is required for a curved surface.7.2.2 Coated reference standards consist of coatings of known thickness permanently bonded to the substrate material.7.3 Thicknesses of reference standards should bracket and be as
