Thickness Measurement for Aeorospace Applications
Composite materials such as CFRP, FRP, and GRP are increasingly used in aerospace and transportation due to their lightweight, strength, and moldability, offering performance and efficiency benefits. Accurate coating thickness measurement on these composites is critical to ensure optimal protection, weight control, and compliance with specifications, especially in multi-layer systems like those found in aircraft and high-speed rail applications. BYK-PELT ultrasonic gauges provide non-destructive, high-resolution measurement of up to five layers on various substrates, enabling reliable quality control across industries.
