Coating Measurement Standards
Alternate Systems Mylar® Calibration Foils are used to calibrate coating measurement instruments used to measure nom-magnetic coatings on magnetic substrates and non-conductive coatings on conductive non-magnetic substrates. Applications include aerospace, automotive, and telecommunications products. Other specialized applications include measurement of spring force.
Alternate Systems certifies foil thickness with high-resolution gaging instrumentation capable of micro-inch measurements. Our clients include major aerospace, defense, electronics, and surface finishing firms.
