Assuring accurate measurement of coating thickness—a critical quality control issue in protective coatings—will be the topic of a free upcoming webinar presented by JPCL and SSPC.
“Practical Coating Thickness Measurement Overview” will be presented from 11 a.m. to noon EDT Nov. 2.
The webinar will discuss factors that influence coating thickness measurement, along with a streamlined means of normalizing and verifying gauge accuracy. The latest means of evaluating the results and transfer of data into various inspection reports will also be demonstrated.
The presenter will be Paul Lomax, Director of Marketing for Fischer Technology, Inc. Lomax has more than 20 years of experience in the field of coating thickness measurement and is active in SSPC, ASTM, NACE, PCI and other industry organizations.
Participants may register here free.
