Elcometer Paint Inspection Gauge

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.

  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
