Résumé : |
The systematic measurement of powder coatings to keep their thickness to a minimum is a simple way of achieving major environmental benefits. Hand-held ultrasonic devices are the ideal solution for making non-contact coating measurements of this kind. |

- Simple, universal ultrasonic measurement systems
- Easy measurements even on curved surfaces
- Few disadvantages to ultrasonic powder coating thickness measurement
- Saving powder and avoiding reworking and faults
- Measuring powder coating thickness on facade panels
- Greater potential for reducing environmental impacts and saving money
- The benefits of systematic measurement of powder coatings
- Fig. 1 : Hand-held ultrasonic devices can produce reliable measurements even on curved surfaces, such as this cycle frame
- Fig. 2 : Example of powder coated facade panels
- Fig. 3 : Image of an uncured powder coating taken under a microscope. If the coating covers the surface, the visual appearanceof the coating will be the same across a wide range of different thicknesses
- Fig. 4 : Weekly powder consumption
- Table 1 : Weekly powder consumption with and without recovery - 775 kg powder used, 525 kg on the product, 250 kg wasted |
