Measurement
of Lacquer thickness on Guitars
Lacquer is
applied to the guitar to attain a glass-like sheen while showing
the beauty and luster of the instrument. DeFelsko manufactures
gages that are ideal for measuring the dry film thickness of
lacquers on guitar substrates such as graphite and wood. |

Adhesion
of Sealers on Thermal Spray Coatings
John J. Crowe and Michael
J. Makosky, G.P.I.. discuss Adhesion
of Sealers on Thermal Spray Coatings in accordance with
ASTM D4541 (Section E) in this December 2003 JPCL article. |

Measurement
of Effects of Erosion and Corrosion
With ultrasonic
thickness gages, an accurate measurement of the remaining wall
thickness of a substrate can be taken on pipes, pressure vessels,
storage tanks, boilers or other equipment prone to erosion or
corrosion. |
 |
|
Measurement
of Adhesion Strength
The PosiTest AT
series of pull-off adhesion testers, along with proper selection
of dolly size, enable an operator to accurately measure the bond
strength of most types of coating applied to any rigid substrate. |

Measuring
Outdoor Climatic Conditions
A major factor
affecting the long term performance of coatings on steel structures
is the climatic conditions during pre-treatment and coating application. |

Coating
Thickness Measurement on Wires
DeFelsko manufactures various
hand-held, non-destructive paint thickness gauges that are ideal
for measuring coating thickness on wires. |
 |
|
Intumescent
Fire Resistive Coating Thickness Measurement
These coatings
are designed to provide an insulating barrier between flames
and steel and are necessary to ensure the structural performance
of the steel members at the temperatures anticipated during a
fully developed fire. Both of these characteristics are highly
dependant on the proper thickness... |

Conformal
Thickness Measurement on Printed Circuit Boards
Conformal
coatings are applied to Printed Circuit Boards to protect the
mounted electronic components from contaminates such as dust,
sand, moisture, salt mist and conductive particles. DeFelsko
manufactures hand-held, non-destructive coating thickness gages
that are ideal for these. |

Coating
Thickness Measurement on Masonry Substrates
DeFelsko has
the unique ability to non-destructively measure coating thickness
on masonry. This eliminates the need to repair the coating after
inspection, saving time for both the inspector and the contractor. |

|
Paint
Thickness Measurement on Drywall (Gypsum
board)
The focus
of this application is on DeFelsko's unique ability to non-destructively
measure paint thickness on gypsum board (more commonly referred
to as drywall). Commercial contracts often require an independent
inspection of the work upon completion. |

Screen
Printing - Measurements (mesh, emulsion, stencil thickness)
The PosiTector
6000 FS accurately and non-destructively measures mesh, emulsion
and stencil thickness, as well as substrate and dry ink deposit
thickness. |

|
OPC
Drum Wear Measurement
The
OPC drum is the most expensive component of a toner cartridge
and drives the entire print process. Life expectancy is considered
depleted when 5 to 15 microns (0.2 to 0.6 mils) of coating has
been worn away. As the amount of wear approaches half of its
original thickness, automatic scrap decisions are often made. |
