Amplitude sensitive eddy current test method
Method for measuring the thickness of electrically nonconducting coating ma-
terials on nonmagnetic metals, DIN EN ISO 2360, ASTM D7091
Batch
A file for organizing and controlling the measurement data.
All the settings rel-
evant to measuring the coating thickness of a coated
sample
and the measure-
ment readings themselves are saved in a file. Such a file is called a batch in
the gage. In the batch, you define the measurement procedure, e.g. whether
the specification limit is to be monitored during the measurement or whether
the measurement readings are to be logged in measurement block groups. The
batch file is assigned to a
and the link to the
to which the measurements are referenced is saved. Different preconfigured
batch files identified as
are available in the gage.
Batch type
Each batch type is assigned a certain
and contains some
presets for the measurement procedure. The configuration of a batch type de-
pends on the requirements of the guideline/standard and required measure-
ment accuracy, which is determined by the calibration method.
Calibration
A calibration is a reference measurement during which the material properties
and geometric shape of the
are recorded and saved in a calibration
. In order to measure, it is absolutely essential that
a calibration has been assigned to a batch.
