GAO’s structural coating and material thickness gauges testers have the following functions:

• Measuring coating thickness - GAO’s coating thickness gauges use ultrasonic or other methods to measure the thickness of coatings on a variety of structures, including pipelines, tanks, and bridges.
• Measuring substrate thickness - Our material thickness gauges measure the thickness of the substrate material before the coating is applied, as well as the thickness of the coating itself once it has been applied.
• Verifying compliance with standards - Our coating and material thickness gauges & testers are designed to comply with industrial standards to ensure that the measurements are taken to meet regulatory requirements.
• Ensuring durability and longevity of structures - By measuring the thickness of coatings and substrates, our coating and material thickness gauges and testers help ensure that structures are adequately protected from corrosion, wear, and tear.

GAO’s structural coating and material thickness gauges & testers are often rugged, versatile, and precision measurement instruments. They comply with applicable industry standards such as ASTM International, ISO, SSPC, NACE International, and ASME B31.3
