The Paint Inspector’s Field Guide
Industrial Physics offers instruments for testing and analyzing paint, coatings and general surface treatments used across industries ranging from transportation infrastructure to marine, beverage and canning and automotive.
The Paint Inspector’s Field Guide from Industrial Physics is a must have tool for any professional concerned with protective coatings that prevent corrosion.
The inspection of protective coating systems for corrosion control involves a wide range of test methods and techniques. The Paint Inspector’s Field Guide explores the various inspection methods available and describes the basic fundamentals of protective coating inspection to support those working in the field.
Authored by Lee Wilson, a highly qualified and well respected inspector with many years of field experience, the Guide provides an overview of the procedures and tools used by inspectors to perform specification review, surface preparation, application and final reporting.
In addition, the Paint Inspector’s Field Guide comprises a wide range of inspection and application notes, making it easy to solve problems which are commonly encountered in the field. The following guide provides support in the form of detailed textual analysis and visual references of inspection techniques and standards, as well as commonly encountered defects.
