Calotest is designed to quickly characterize coating thickness. The CATc is widely used for analyzing coatings with thicknesses between 0.1 μm and 50 μm. The simple ball-cratering method offers a fast and accurate means of checking the thickness of any kind of coating, whether a single or multilayered stack. Typical examples include CVD, PVD, plasma spray coatings, anodic oxidation layers, chemical and galvanic deposits, polymers, paints and lacquers.
Key Features
Superior analysis of coating thickness:
Spherical abrasion test method
Determination of coating thickness
Applicable to a wide variety of materials
Fine and extra fine polishing slurries
Available in “cCompact” or “industrial” configurations
Options:
Optical measuring system with automatic thickness calculation
Technical Specifications
