Measurement Accuracy

Factors of affecting measurement accuracy, please reference the chapter 6 Factors Affecting Measurement Accuracy. Under normal use and careful calibration, all subsequent measurements will lie within the guaranteed measuring tolerance. When using the statistics programmer for obtaining a mean value it is advisable to place the probe several times at a typical measuring spot or at fixed measuring spot.
Any false readings or outliers can be deleted immediately. The final reading derives from the statistical calculation and from the guaranteed tolerance levels of the gauge.
T(coating thickness)=M(mean value)±S(standard deviation)±A(measuring accuracy).

Factors Affecting Measurement Accuracy

User needs to know the factors of affecting measurement accuracy before using the gauge. The factors are listed below.

Factors  Principle Magnetic Eddy Current Recommendations
Magnetic properties   Need to calibrate
Electrical properties   Need to calibrate
Curvature radius See specifications and calibrate
Substrate thickness See specifications and calibrate
Size of measuring area See specifications and calibrate
Surface roughness
Position and shape
Sample deformed Avoid to measure on too soft or too thin material
Adhesive substances Clean probe and sample
Strong magnetic field   Be away from strong magnetic field
Temperature           and humidity Recalibrate at the same environment

The measured sample must correspond to the calibration sample in substrate material properties, curvature radius, or the more closely the measured sample matches the calibration sample, the more accurate the measuring. In addition, curvature radius should meet the minimum value as specified in the specifications.
The minimum substrate thickness and the minimum measuring areas as specified in the specifications should be taken into account. Need to recalibrate (Zero /Multi-point) for different measured sample for higher accuracy.
To achieve high-accuracy readings, it is advisable to log calibration values several times. In this way, the gauge will automatically establish a mean calibration value. The high-accuracy calibration is an obvious advantage when calibrating on uneven and rough surfaces.
The point at which measurement is made should always be similar with the calibration point, especially in the case of corners and edges of small parts.
Important Note: The enclosed substrates are intended for checking accuracy only and not for calibration purposes. User must recalibrate the gauge according to practical applications.

Calibration

User should read chapter 6 Factors Affecting Measurement Accuracy firstly, and must recalibrate the gauge according to measured product sample. The gauge provid es basic calibration, zero calibration and multi-point calibration.

  • Basic calibration: Also be the factory default calibration, can only for measurement on even surfaces and if the measuring object has the same material, curvature, and size as the factory provided substrates. For more details, please consult with your supplier.
  • Zero calibration: Recommended if measuring errors up to ± (2%+1um).
  • Multi-point calibration: The permitted measuring errors will be max. ± (1~2%+1um). If only one point calibration, it is recommended if readings to be expected will be close to the calibration value. If more than one point calibration, it is recommended for measurements on rough surfaces or for precise measurements on smooth surfaces if thickness to be expected lies between that of calibration point.

Zero Calibration

  • a. Press and hold “ZERO Key” until hearing “beep…beep beep…”. The LCD will flash “ZERO” symbol.
  • b. Place the probe on uncoated sample and raise it after one beep.
  • c. Repeat step b and c several times to obtain mean value.
  • d. Finished. Press “ZERO Key” to exit calibration mode.

Multi-point Calibration

  • a. In measure mode, press “CAL key” once to enter calibration mode.
  • b. Zero calibration according to the previous chapter and then lay the calibration foil on an uncoated sample.
  • c. Apply the probe and raise it after one beep. A reading will be shown. Press “Up Key” or “Down Key” to increase or decrease the readings or hold the key for changing continuously until the required foil thickness value shown. The LCD will show current calibration point “Ptn X ”. The “X” will be flashing.
  • d. Apply the probe to the test sample several times, and every time raise the probe, if you press “CAL Key”, after “beep…beep beep…”, it will establish a mean value for current calibration point.
  • e. Press “Left Key” to confirm and end current calibration point, and the “X” will be steady. Or press “Right Key” to cancel and end current calibration point.
  • f. For more calibration points, use another calibration foil and repeat the step c, d and e.
  • g. Finished. Press “CAL Key” to exit calibration mode.

Note:

  • a. Each group has individual zero calibration and multi-point calibration.
  • b. When calibration up to 4 points, user must clear the finished points firstly to restart.
  • c. Readings measured before will not be affected by new calibration.
  • d. In calibration mode, measuring will not be affected.
  • e. Recommended to work in single measure mode when calibrating.

Shot-blasted surfaces
The physical nature of shot-blasted surfaces results in coating thickness readings that are too high. The mean thickness over the peaks can be determined as follows.
Method one:

  • a. The gauge should be calibrated according to “Multi-point Calibration”. Use a smooth calibration sample with the same curvature radius and the same substrate as the later measuring sample.
  • b. Take approx. 10 readings on the uncoated, shot-blasted sample to produce mean value A.
  • c. Take approx. 10 further readings on the coated, shot-blasted test sample to produce mean value B.
  • d. The coating thickness is T=(B-A)±S. The “S” is the greater standard deviation of step b and step c.

Method two:

  • a. The gauge should be calibrated according to “Multi-point Calibration” on the shot\ blasted sample.
  • b. Take approx. 10 readings on the test sample to produce the mean value that used as final coating thickness.

Clear Calibration
User can clear calibration to start new applications. When the values are still out of tolerance, the user should clear it.

  • a. Press “Left Key” once to enter menu mode (”Root” directory).
  • b. Press “Up Key” or “Down Key” to activate “Calibration” item, and press “Left Key” once to enter.
  • c. Press “Up Key” or “Down Key” to activate ”Clear All” item (Note: User can decide to clear only part of them, please see the menu for details), and press “Left Key” once. A dialog box will be displayed.
  • d. Press “Left Key” once to confirm the selection and go back, or “Right Key” to cancel and back.

Note:
All operations are limited in current work group, and the other groups will not be affected.
