In industrial painting applications, the most frequent approach for measuring coating thickness is to place probes at multiple locations on the painted surface, which are subsequently removed after drying and measured with proper tools.
Corrosion testing:
Corrosion can be defined as the destruction of a metal by an electrochemical reaction. The corrosion rate will vary depending on the environment, with different environments often producing corrosion at different rates.
Standardized methods of testing corrosion have been developed and are used on a regular basis in many industries to measure the extent of damage caused by corrosion.
Film adhesion testing:
There are several methods that can be applied to measure adhesion. The most common test methods include Tape Test, Knife Test and Cross-hatching Test. Tape tests will typically give a subjective answer based on visual inspection whereas Knife and Cross-hatch tests will give quantitative results such as Kg/cm2 (or psi).
Environmental chambers:
Environmental chambers are used to see how samples react to various environmental conditions. You can use them to see how temperature, humidity, light, and other environmental conditions affect your sample.
Environmental chambers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A climatic chamber can be used to assess the effects of temperature and humidity on a material (for example, paint).
