17、6 10“ 1 Scope and field of application 1.1 This International Standard specifies a method for the measurement of metal coating thickness by first forming a step between the surface of the coating and the surface of its substrate and then measuring the step height using a profile recording instrument
18、. It covers the instrumentation characteristics and the procedure appropriate to this specific application of profilometric methods. J 1.2 The method is applicable to the measurement of thicknesses of metal coatings from 0,Ol pm to 1 o00 pm on flat surfaces and, if appropriate precautions are taken,
19、 on cylin- drical surfaces. It is highly suitable for the measurement of minute thicknesses but, for thicknesses of less than 0,Ol pm, surface flatness and surface smoothness are very critical and accordingly, the method is not recommended for use down to the lowest level of measurement usual for el
20、ectronic stylus in- struments. The method is suitable for measuring coating thicknesses when preparing coating thickness reference stan- dards. 2 References IS0 2064, Metallic and other non-organic coatings - Defini- tions and conventions concerning the measurement of thickness.

26、e traverse, of 2,5, 10 or 50 pm. The force of con- tact on the test surface shall not exceed the appropriate value given in the taMe.

29、the traverse unit, permits nominal values of the horizontal Vhi magnifications of the profile selected from the following series : 10-20-50-100-200-500-1o0O-2o0O- 5 OOO. 4.2.2 Profile recording instruments will furnish the following measuring characteristics : - traverse length : 1 to 100 mm - range
30、 of thickness measurement : 0,005 to 250 ptn - 0,OOO 5 to 1 pm. resolution (dependent on the range of measurement) : 4.3 Electronic inductive comparators 4.3.1 The design of electronic inductive comparators is much like that of the electronic stylus instruments (4.2), the principal difference being
31、that the large-radius stylus does not plot the microprofile of the surface. 4.3.2 Typical examples of the measuring characteristics and the operational parameters of a comparator instrument are.as follows : An electronic inductive comparator with a linearity of not less than 0,5 %, a table providing
32、 a rectilinear motion to the surface to be traversed, and suitable amplifiers, and using the following operational parameters : - radius of stylus : 250 pm - maximum magnification : X 50 o00 - static stylus force : 0,12 N will furnish the following measurement characteristics : - traverse length : 1
33、00 mm - range of thickness measurement : 1 to 1 O00 pm - 0,02 to 20 prn. resolution (dependent on the range of measurement) : 5 Factors relating to accuracy 5.1 Profile record Because the thickness measurement is made from the recorded profile, errors will arise if the recording does not give a fait
34、hful reproduction of the step at a suitable magnification. Inaccurate recordings may reflect the quality or improper adjustment of the recording instrument. 5.2 Vertical magnification If the vertical magnification is too low, measurement precision will be poor. It should be set to take maximum advan
35、tage of the chart width. 5.3 Graphical measurements If the test surface is not parallel to the reference (datum) sur- face, the recording of the horizontal surface is sloped with respect to the chart grid; the vertical portion of the step is also sloped but it may still be vertical on the chart grid
36、, depending on the vertical and horizontal magnifications, on the radius of the syius and finally on the height of the step (.e. thickfiess). When the profile is sloped, a common error is to measure the perpendicular distance between the mean lines of the profile without correcting for the differenc
37、es between the horizontal and vertical magnifications. To avoid these errors or additional mathematical calculations, the datum and test surfaces shall be parallel. This may be ac- complished by the use of an appropriate jig or fitting. 5.4 Applied force If the force on the stylus is too great, the
38、stylus produces a scratch or deformation which may introduce a measurement er- ror. The force should be kept to a minimum and generally should not exceed the appropriate values given in the table in 4.2.1.1. 5.5 Stylus diameter and surface roughness ! If a small-diameter stylus is used on a rough su
39、rface, the step height may be difficult to measure accurately because of poor definition of the extremes of the recorded step. A large- diameter stylus minimizes this difficulty. If the substrate and coating surfaces are of different roughnesses, the recorded step profile may be misleading to the ex
40、tent that the stylus rides the high spots more on one sur- face than the other because of different peak to peak spacings. A small-diameter stylus tends to reduce this error. A small-diameter stylus equipped with an electronic filter to smooth out the profile can be advantageous, but may round the c
41、orners of the step profile. In principle, the roughness of a recorded substrate (peak to valley height of the surface profile) should not exceed 10 % of the step height. 5.6 Vibrations Vibrations may cause irregularities or noise in the recorded pro- file, making accurate measurement difficult. This
42、 effect should be minimized by insulating the equipment from vibrations. In principle, the peak to valley height should not exceed 10 % of the step height. 5.7 Surface curvature Surface curvature can interfere with accurate measurement of - ?, t ?“ CEN EN*IS0*452Telex 23218).
