What you can't see will make your coating fail
Dust, soluble salts, and incorrect surface profile are the leading causes of premature coating failure, and none of them
are visible to the naked eye. These tools give you objective, integrity of your coating, no matter
how good the product is measurable data before you apply a single coat..

Not sure which tool fits your project?
Coating inspection requirements vary by industry, standard, and surface type. Our technical experts help you select the right combination of tools, interpret results correctly, and align with ISO or project specifications.
Condensation is invisible. Its damage isn't.
Temperature, relative humidity and dew point determine whether your coating will bond, or silently fail within weeks.If the steel
surface is within 3°C of the dew point, you should not coat. One instrument gives you all the data you need to decide with certainty.

Too thin fails. Too thick cracks. Control matters.
Protective coatings are engineered to perform within a precise thickness range. Too thin means insufficient barrier protection.
Too thick risks cracking, poor adhesion between layers, or extended curing times. Verify at both stages, during application and after curing.
Need Help Reading Your Results?
Inspection data is only useful if you know how to act on it. Our team supports you in interpreting measurements, understanding compliance requirements, and making the right calls on the job from first coat to final sign-off.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wet film and dry film thickness?
Wet film thickness is measured immediately after application, while the coating is still liquid. It allows applicators to make real-time adjustments. Dry film thickness is measured after full curing and confirms compliance with project specifications. The two values are related but not equal as the coating cures, solvents evaporate and the film shrinks.
How do I know if my surface is clean enough to coat?
Visual inspection is not enough. Dust, soluble salts and surface contaminants can be present even when a surface looks clean. Use a Dust Test Kit or WA Clean device to objectively measure dust levels, and a Bresle Kit to detect soluble salts. Results must meet the cleanliness thresholds defined in your project specification or applicable ISO standard before coating can proceed.
Which tools comply with ISO coating inspection standards?
The WA Clean is ISO certified for surface cleanliness measurement. The Bresle Kit complies with ISO 8502-6 and ISO 8502-9 for soluble salt testing. The Dew Point Meter covers requirements under ISO 8502-4 for environmental conditions. Wet and dry film thickness gauges align with ISO 2808. Always verify that your specific instruments carry the relevant calibration certificates required by your project.
