Protective Coating & Paint Quality Inspection
Our coating inspection services verify that protective coating systems are correctly applied and will perform as intended, protecting your critical industrial and marine assets against aggressive atmospheric and chemical corrosion to significantly extend service life.
Certified Corrosion Prevention & Quality Control
Certified NACE / AMPP coating inspectors conduct rigorous quality surveillance across all phases of surface preparation, blast profile measurement, environmental monitoring, primer application, and final dry film thickness (DFT) compliance.
Book Coating InspectionCoating Inspection Scope
Dry Film Thickness (DFT) Measurement
Precision electromagnetic DFT gauge readings across steel substrates per SSPC-PA 2 and ISO 19840 requirements.
Surface Preparation Verification
Verification of abrasive blast cleanliness (SSPC-SP 10 / NACE No. 2 Near-White Metal) and anchor profile depth testing.
Holiday & Pin-Hole Testing
High-voltage spark testing and low-voltage wet sponge holiday detection to pinpoint pinholes or voids in protective linings.
Adhesion & Environmental Audits
Cross-hatch and hydraulic pull-off adhesion testing (ASTM D4541), plus relative humidity and dew point climate audits.
Key Benefits of Coating Inspection
Working Methodology & Safety Protocols
Field Working Methodology
Interactive 4-step execution plan for Protective Coating Quality Audit
Ambient Conditions & Dew Point Audit
Monitor relative humidity, air temperature, steel substrate temperature, and dew point spread prior to surface prep.
Surface Blast Profile & Cleanliness Check
Inspect abrasive blast cleanliness against ISO 8501-1 / SSPC standards and measure surface roughness profile using replica tape.
Multi-Coat DFT & Holiday Spark Inspection
Measure dry film thickness for primer, intermediate, and topcoat layers; perform high-voltage spark testing for pinhole leaks.
Adhesion Pull-Test & Release Report
Witness hydraulic dolly pull-off adhesion tests (ASTM D4541) and issue final certified coating QA/QC release certificate.
