Does PA2 Go Far Enough in Outlining DFT Measurement and Assisting the User to Carry Out the Most Efficient Inspection?

Does PA2 Go Far Enough in Outlining DFT Measurement and Assisting the User to Carry Out the Most Efficient Inspection?
Available for download

PA2 was initially developed when the only instruments available were the Banana gauge and basic analogue and digital DFT gauges. Gauges now have memory, limits and scanning technology amongst other features. Scanning technology in DFT measurement has been available for some time now, but only recently has work begun on the standards to incorporate this technology.

PA2 was initially developed when the only instruments available were the Banana gauge and basic analogue and digital DFT gauges. Gauges now have memory, limits and scanning technology amongst other features. Scanning technology in DFT measurement has been available for some time now, but only recently has work begun on the standards to incorporate this technology. As the technology has progressed has PA2? Should it? Will the standards go far enough and how will the proposed changes benefit the end user? Will PA2 give us what we need or is there an alternative? We look at the implications of using the scanning method, the potential benefits of the method and how the standards should reflect the availability of this technology to enhance the options available to the contractor and the inspector.

SSPC-PA2: New Electronic Data Collection Solutions

Product Number: 41214-868-SG
Author: Joe Walker
Publication Date: 2014
$20.00

In the spring of 2014, a new SSPC-PA21 standard is scheduled to be published. Despite the fact that this is the second major revision in as many years, new technologies and techniques have been introduced since the 2014 standard was revised and sent to ballot. Some examples include a factory-calibrated coating thickness gauge with pre-defined surface profiles, as well as a scanning probe designed to be slid across a cured coating while taking readings in real time. When these new technologies are put into practice, dramatic improvements in overall inspection times and data accuracy can be seen.

Statistical and Technical Evaluation of Rapid Dry Film Thickness (DFT) Measurement Technologies

Product Number: 51218-136-SG
Author: Jeff O'Dell
Publication Date: 2018
$20.00

Dry film thickness (DFT) is an important parameter of coating application, and both low and high DFTs can result in coating failures. Typically, DFTs are measured in accordance with SSPC-PA 2, “Procedure for Determining Conformance to Dry Coating Thickness Requirements” (1), or other similar standards. Recent advancements in technology have resulted in DFT probes capable of achieving a higher rate of DFT data collection than previous devices.
