Steel structure fireproof coating thickness measurement

I believe everyone should be familiar with the dry film thickness gauge, which is a professional instrument used to measure coating thickness. But most people should feel a little unfamiliar to hear about fire-resistant coatings for steel structures. Although the name is relatively long, it is essentially a fire-retardant coating, only applied to the surface of steel materials. The dry film thickness gauge has played a very important role in the selection of fireproof coatings for steel structures.
  Dry film thickness gauge plays an irreplaceable important role in the process of selecting fireproof coatings for steel structures. Fire prevention is an important theme that cannot be avoided in daily life. Then the steel structure fireproof coating is also very important.
   In the process of producing fire-resistant coatings for steel structures, some businesses will reduce the thickness in order to reduce production costs. However, if the thickness of the fire-resistant coatings for steel structures does not meet the specified requirements, it will not be effective. It is conceivable that once a good coating thickness gauge is not used to detect the fireproof coating of steel structures, there will be great safety hazards. Therefore, choosing a suitable coating thickness gauge is very important.
 Dry film thickness gauge directly affects the whole process of selecting fireproof coatings for steel structures. According to the thickness used, steel structure fire retardant coatings can be divided into ultra-thin steel structure fire retardant coatings, whose coating thickness is less than or equal to 3mm; thin steel structure fire retardant coatings, whose coating thickness is greater than 3mm and less than or equal to 7mm; thick steel structure fire retardant coatings , The coating thickness is greater than 7mm and less than or equal to 45mm. Thin coatings are easy to apply, and they can be applied basically. Repeated spraying two or three times is almost the same.
   After the completion of the construction, the coating thickness gauge LS223 is used for testing, and the acceptance is relatively simple. The thick paint spraying process needs to divide the number of times, and there is also a time interval. It needs to be sprayed layer by layer to reach the specified thickness. Pay special attention when using the coating thickness gauge. At the time of acceptance, attention should also be paid to the use of scale calipers to extract different points and other details. It should also be noted that after a certain period of time, taking into account the influence of factors such as wear and tear, the coating thickness gauge should also be used for spot checks instead of a simple inspection.
  Plating thickness gauge should also pay attention to the instrument itself and the method of use before and after use. In the process of using the coating thickness gauge, pay attention to the correct use of the instrument, otherwise not only the accurate thickness measurement results will not be obtained, but also huge damage to the instrument itself.
   In addition, the coating thickness gauge is a relatively sensitive instrument, which is particularly sensitive to adhesion substances that prevent the probe from contacting the surface of the coating. Therefore, before using the coating thickness gauge, the attached material must be removed to ensure that the probe is in direct contact with the covering surface. Choosing the correct method of use allows the coating thickness gauge to obtain the coating thickness measurement results efficiently and accurately, and also makes the user's own use process more comfortable.
