The inspection kits bring together all essential test instruments for powder coating and wet paint in one compact, mobile case. They contain equipment for coating thickness measurement, climate and dew point determination, gloss and colour measurement, adhesion testing, roughness evaluation, surface cleanliness and salt contamination testing as well as porosity testing. All components are standards-compliant, calibratable and designed for mobile on-site use.
The kits are used in incoming goods inspection, production, quality assurance and audits. They support fast and reliable assessment of coating quality and surface preparation. By combining all relevant test methods – from the climate check (ΔT) and coating thickness control through to adhesion testing – they ensure a high first-pass yield, enable complete traceability and significantly reduce rework and inspection effort.
Coating thickness: selecting a suitable gauge or sensor for FE and NFE substrates as well as complex geometries. Use of calibration foils and zero plates for adjustment and to ensure accurate results even on different substrates.
Climate / dew point: measuring air temperature, surface temperature and relative humidity to determine ΔT before coating. The results form the basis for release according to climatic specifications and help prevent condensation.
Gloss / colour: carrying out measurements with 20° and 60° geometry and evaluating the ΔE* value according to ISO/ASTM standards. This ensures uniform colour and gloss appearance across batches.
Adhesion / roughness: assessing adhesion using cross-cut or pull-off tests and determining surface texture with Rubert roughness standards. The results provide insight into adhesion, surface preparation and coating quality.
Cleanliness / porosity: checking surface cleanliness using the Bresle test, dust level checks and porosity testing. In addition, a light and visual inspection makes it possible to assess the coating surface for defects and visual imperfections.
The range includes standard and customised kits with QA software, data loggers and interfaces for digital inspection reports. We define the scope of testing, applicable standards and measurement point plan and integrate the kits fully into QA workflows, report archives and audit processes. This ensures that all results are available in a standardised, traceable and audit-ready form.

Learn moreTypically included are a coating thickness gauge (FE/NFE), climate and dew point measurement, gloss and, where required, colour measurement, adhesion testing (cross-cut/pull-off), roughness comparison (Rubert), surface cleanliness/salt contamination (e.g. Bresle), porosity testing as well as light/inspection lamp. Calibration foils, zero plates and report templates complete the set.
Selection is based on substrate (FE/NFE), process step (incoming goods, production, audit), applicable standards (e.g. ISO 2178/2360, ASTM D7091, ISO 2813, ISO 2409), required accuracy, documentation needs (data loggers/interfaces) and operating environment. Traceable calibration and suitable accessories in the case are essential.
A defined measurement point plan, calibrated test instruments with certificates, delta-T control before coating, oven/temperature profiles according to coating specification, digital data acquisition and clear test reports. Regular test equipment monitoring and user training ensure consistent results.
We configure standard and custom kits including calibration, test plan and documentation – for coating thickness, climate/dew point, gloss/colour, adhesion, roughness and cleanliness. The result: audit-proof evidence, consistent quality and a high first-pass yield.
