Coating Thickness Gauges - Destructive
Destructive thickness measurement is often the only guaranteed method available to test certain coating / substrate combinations including paint applied to concrete, wood, plaster, plastic etc. When it is necessary to measure the individual layer thickness of multiple-layer coating system, the most accurate method available is the Paint inspection Gauge (P.I.G) coating thickness gauge.
At a glance: Destructive coating thickness gauge used to measure multi-layer coatings Universal dial also allows for hardness and cross hatch adhesion testing

1. Take the coated product
2. Using the marker, mark a line across the coating
3. Using the PIG, make a cut at right angles to the marker line, all the way down to the substrate
4. Using the microscope, measure the number of graticule divisions across a coating layer, using the sharp cut
5. Using the Scale factor (number of microns or mils per division), calculate the coating thickness
Test Method
The PIG test method is a destructive test to measure the thickness of a coating which is over certain coating/substrate combinations and to also measure individual layers of a multi-layer coating system.

Elcometer have a wide range of other equipment for testing and measuring the characteristics of coatings.
Elcometer 141 Paint Inspection Gauge is a quick, versatile method of examination and measurement of coatings in a portable, easy to use instrument. Ergonomically designed to give a balanced weight distribution for a more consistent cut – even on thick and hard coatings.
Elcometer 121 Paint Inspection Gauge is easy to use and provides the user with a cutter, microscope and light all in a single housing.
Elcometer 195 Säberg Drill works in a different way to paint inspection gauges. Whereas the PIG makes a linear cut along the coating, the Elcometer 195 Säberg Drill makes a small hole in order to measure the coating thickness layer, minimising damage to the coating being tested.
Elcometer 107 The coating may be continuous and look good, but how well is it connected to the substrate? The Elcometer 107 Cross Hatch Cutter provides an instant assessment of the quality of the bond to the substrate. Due to its rugged construction this gauge is ideal for thin, thick or tough coatings on flat or curved surfaces. An ideal field or laboratory test.
Elcometer 1542 Simple but effective method for determining the adhesion of a large variety of coatings. This instrument is ideal for thin coatings on flat surfaces, available with three different spacings, corresponding to the thickness of layer to be tested.
