BS EN ISO 2178:2016

This standard BS EN ISO 2178:2016 Non-magnetic coatings on magnetic substrates. Measurement of coating thickness. Magnetic method is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.220.50 Enamels
• 25.220.40 Metallic coatings

This International Standard specifies a method for non-destructive measurements of the thickness of non-magnetizable 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.

In this International Standard the term “coating” is used for material such as, for example, paints and varnishes, electroplated coatings, enamel coatings, plastic coatings, powder coatings, claddings.
