ASTM B487 Standard Test Method for Measurement of Metal and Oxide Coating Thickness by Microscopic Examination of Section

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM B487 testing. This test method involves measuring the local thickness of metal and oxide coatings by microscopic examination of sections using an optical microscope.

Under good conditions, when using an optical microscope, the method can give an absolute measurement accuracy of 0,8 µm. This will determine the suitability of the method for measuring the thickness of thin coatings.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
