True or false: According to a JPCL article, three months is a good starting interval between calibrations of a magnetic dry film thickness gage.

True or false: Statistical data from a recent study suggest that greater precision of DFT measurements can be obtained using the scanning method over the traditional SSPC-PA 2 method.

How does the concave or convex curvature of a surface affect the dry film thickness reading?

I have several water tanks constructed with carbon steel for demineralized water storage. The tanks are about 20 years old, and the original coating has started to blister. For refurbishment of the coating, what material should be used and at what dry film thickness? The original type of coating is unknown.
