The strength of the concrete structure is related to the thickness of the coating. If the coating is too thin, it may cause damage or damage to the concrete structure. Measuring the thickness of the concrete coating can also ensure that the coating reaches the predetermined thickness and guarantee the strength of the concrete structure. Concrete coatings protect concrete surfaces from corrosion, abrasion or chemical attack. Measuring the thickness of a concrete coating can help confirm the protective properties of the coating and protect the concrete surface from external influences. If the coating thickness is insufficient, the concrete surface is easily damaged, thereby shortening the service life of the concrete structure. By measuring the thickness of the concrete coating, you can ensure that the coating reaches the predetermined thickness, thereby prolonging the service life of the concrete structure.
Steps
Preparation tools: coating Thickness Gauge, calibration sheet, cleaning cloth.
Check that the concrete surface is clean and dry. If there are impurities or dirt on the surface, you need to clean the surface first.
Turn on the coating Thickness Gauge and select the appropriate probe. Select the probe according to the desired coating thickness range. If in doubt, consult the instrument manufacturer or the technical support personnel using the instrument.
Calibrate the instrument: Use the calibration sheet to calibrate the coating Thickness Gauge to ensure accurate and reliable measurement results.
Hold the probe against the concrete surface and press the measurement button. The instrument will display the thickness of the coating.
Move the instrument to the next location for measurement until the entire area of coating thickness has been measured.
During the measurement, gently wipe the probe with a cleaning cloth to ensure accurate measurement results.
After the measurement is complete, turn off the coating thickness gage and clean the probe and instrument surfaces.
The thickness of the concrete surface coating may be affected by the unevenness or roughness of the concrete surface. When using a coating Thickness Gauge for measurement, Beichao reminds you to pay attention to the contact between the probe and the surface to ensure accurate measurement results.
