Description (English):

This document reviews methods for measuring the thickness of metallic and other inorganic coatings on both metallic and non-metallic substrates (see Tables 1, A.1 and A.2). It is limited to tests already specified, or to be specified, in International Standards and excludes certain tests that are used for special applications.

Abstract

Overview

EN ISO 3882:2024 - titled "Metallic and other inorganic coatings - Review of methods of measurement of thickness (ISO 3882:2024)" - is a CEN-adopted review standard that summarizes and classifies the internationally standardized methods for measuring the thickness of metallic and other inorganic coatings on both metallic and non‑metallic substrates. This fourth edition (2024) replaces the 2003 edition and collates methods already specified (or to be specified) in International Standards, indicating whether they are non‑destructive or destructive, their working principles, applicability and basic limitations.

Key topics

Scope and purpose: Comparative review of coating thickness measurement techniques referenced to relevant ISO methods; not a novel test procedure but a guidance and selection resource.
Method classification:
- Non‑destructive: split‑beam microscope (ISO 2128), magnetic (ISO 2178 / ISO 2361), eddy current (ISO 2360; phase‑sensitive ISO 21968), X‑ray spectrometric (ISO 3497), beta backscatter (ISO 3543).
- Destructive (or potentially destructive): optical microscopical (ISO 1463), Fizeau multiple‑beam interferometry (ISO 3868), profilometric/stylus and optical (ISO 4518), scanning electron microscope (ISO 9220), and dissolution methods including coulometric (ISO 2177), gravimetric (ISO 10111) and STEP (ISO 16866).
Measurement guidance: Working principles, typical measurement ranges, method limitations (e.g., X‑ray precision decreases for chromium coatings ≳20 µm; many magnetic probes lack sensitivity for gold coatings
