0000-00-00: IMO PSPC - Special calculation required for coating thickness results
With the PSPC an new rule for coating thickness results was introduced, the PSPC 90/10 rule.
This rule states that 90% of all thickness measurements shall be greater than, or equal to NDFT (Nominal Dry Film Thickness) and none of the remaining 10% measurements shall be below 0.9 x NDFT. This is one of the hardest standards to calculate and almost impossible without the aid of print outs, calculators or computers.
Our partners Elcometer have introduced the 456-3 Coating Thickness Gauge. The world’s first thickness gauge
which gives the user PSPC results for the 90/10 rule as a “Pass or Fail” as measurements are taken.
