MEASUREMENT OF PAINT FILM THICKNESS-INTERIM REPORT NO. 1, A LITERATURE REVIEW

AN ANNOTATED LITERATURE REVIEW IS PRESENTED OF CURRENT METHODS FOR MEASURING PAINT FILM THICKNESS ON STEEL. THE PERIOD COVERED IS 1955 TO MID-1969. TO AVOID DUPLICATION OF WORK BY OTHERS AND TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF ALL PERTINENT INFORMATION, A STUDY WAS CODUCTED ON FILM THICKNESS MEASUREMENTS AT THE STEEL STRUCTURES PAINTING COUNCIL. THE PRINCIPAL SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS REVIEW WAS FIELD AND LABORATORY METHODS AND INSTRUMENTS IN CURRENT USE FOR NON- DESTRUCTIVE MEASUREMENTS OF PAINT THICKNESS ON STEEL, PARTICULARLY THOSE INSTRUMENTS BASED UPON MAGNETIC PRINCIPLES. SOME COGNIZANCE WAS ALSO TAKEN OF OTHER TYPES OF INSTRUMENTS INCLUDING DESTRUCTIVE METHODS, NON-MAGNETIC TYPES AS WELL AS NON-FERROUS SUBSTRATES. A DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS OF THE LITERATURE REVIEW IS ALSO PROVIDED. /AUTHOR/
