Description

Calotest The calotest allows to measure the thickness of hard coatings quickly with the greatest precision. Two instruments on one : the only calotest instrument on the market which suits both for laboratory samples and big industrial parts. In accord with Standard : ISO EN-1071-2 and VDI 3198 Manufacturers and users of hard coatings are often confronted with the problem of the measurement of the thickness of coatings. TRIBOtechnic has created a new and innovative instrument called CALOTESTER fully equipped with all items needed for measuring thickness of coatings, at your finger tips: programmed spherical abrasion controlled by microprocessor; microscope for measurement of abraded coatings and a calculator to supply the results of thickness automatically. Procedure : A ball coated with an abrasive paste is kept in rotation on a specimen by shaft with a groove. A form of a spherical cap is abraded into the specimen, X and Y are measured with an optical microscope. The thickness E of the coating will be calculated with the following equation: Applications : The calotest method is applicable in the following fields: - PVD and CVD coatings - Sputtering, ion plating - Evaporation in vacuum - Anodic oxidation - Galvanized coatings - Chemical coatings
