ISO DIS 2178

Description / Abstract: This International Standard describes a method for non-destructive measurements of the thickness of nonmagnetizable coatings on magnetizable base metals.

The measurements are tactile and non-destructive on typical coatings. The probe or an instrument with integrated probe is placed directly on the coating to be measured. The coating thickness is displayed on the instrument.

NOTE This method can also be applied to the measurement of magnetizable coatings on non-magnetizable base metals or other materials (see ISO 2361).
