Determining the paint thickness of aircraft with a coating thickness gauge

In motor aircraft construction, innovative paint systems ensure that the coatings meet the high requirements. Without the protective layer of paint, the aircraft parts would be damaged within a very short time, regardless of whether they are made of metal or plastic, because UV radiation and temperature fluctuations from minus 55 to plus 100 degrees Celsius have an enormous impact on the aircraft. The coating with primer, adhesion promoter, base coat and top coat has a thickness of 250 microns to 300 microns. In order to check the paint thickness and to be able to determine it correctly, you use a mobile layer thickness measuring device that was designed for continuous measurements or single point measurements
