Eddy Current Coating Thickness Gauges (ECT)

Dear Readers,

In continuation with my earlier post of DFT, let us know the ECT (Eddy Current Thickness)

As you may aware that Dry film thickness (DFT) or coating thickness is arguably the single most important measurement made during the application and inspection of protective coatings. Dry film thickness can be measured on either magnetic steel surfaces or non-magnetic metal surfaces such as stainless steel or aluminum using a digital coating thickness gauge.

The eddy current principle is used for non-conductive coatings on non-ferrous metals substrates. They can be divided into two types: contact and non-contact. The contact type measures coating thickness by the amplitude of eddy currents, while the non-contact type measures coating thickness by the phase difference in eddy currents

Eddy current dry film thickness gauges are used in eddy current testing (ECT), a non-destructive test (NDT) method that determines dry film thickness based on the strength or level of eddy currents induced in a metal by a probe containing a conducting wire coil. The distance between the probe and the substrate, which is equivalent to the coating thickness, inversely affects the eddy current strength level. So, the strength of the eddy current deceases as the coating thickness increases.

An eddy current dry film thickness gauge is a widely used non-destructive coating thickness measurement tool because of its high sensitivity and wide range of thickness capability.
