Non-magnetic metallic coatings on metallic and non-metallic basis materials - Measurement of coating thickness - Phase-sensitive eddy-current method (ISO 21968:2005)
ISO 21968:2005 describes a method of using phase-sensitive eddy-current instruments for non-destructive measurements of the thickness of non-magnetic metallic coatings on metallic and non-metallic basis materials such as zinc, cadmium, copper, tin or chromium on steel, as well as copper or silver on composite materials.
The phase-sensitive method can be applied without thickness errors to smaller surface areas and to stronger surface curvatures than the amplitude-sensitive eddy-current method described in ISO 2360, and is less affected by the magnetic properties of the basis material. However, the phase-sensitive method is more affected by the electrical properties of the coating materials.

L'ISO 21968:2005 décrit une méthode utilisant des instruments fonctionnant par courants de Foucault sensible aux variations de phase pour le mesurage non destructif de l'épaisseur des revêtements métalliques non magnétiques sur des matériaux de base métalliques et non métalliques, tels que le zinc, le cadmium, le cuivre, l'étain ou le chrome sur de l'acier, ainsi que le cuivre ou l'argent sur des matériaux composites.
La méthode sensible aux variations de phase peut être appliquée sans erreur d'épaisseur à des surfaces planes plus petites et à des surfaces courbes plus accentuées que la méthode par courants de Foucault sensible aux variations d'amplitude, décrite dans l'ISO 2360, et est moins affectée par les propriétés magnétiques du matériau de base. Toutefois, la méthode sensible aux variations de phase est davantage affectée par les propriétés électriques des matériaux de revêtement.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 21968:2005(E)
Non-magnetic metallic coatings on metallic and non-metallic
basis materials — Measurement of coating thickness —
Phase-sensitive eddy-current method
1 Scope
This International Standard describes a method of using phase-sensitive eddy-current instruments for non-
destructive measurements of the thickness of non-magnetic metallic coatings on metallic and non-metallic
basis materials, such as:
a) zinc, cadmium, copper, tin or chromium on steel;
b) copper or silver on composite materials.
The phase-sensitive method can be applied without thickness errors to smaller surface areas and to stronger
[1]
surface curvatures than the amplitude-sensitive eddy-current method described in ISO 2360 , and is less
affected by the magnetic properties of the basis material. However, the phase-sensitive method is more
affected by the electrical properties of the coating materials.
When measuring metallic coatings on metallic basis materials, the product of conductivity and permeability
(σ, µ) of one of the materials should be at least a factor of 1,5 times the product of conductivity and
permeability for the other material. Non-ferromagnetic materials have a relative permeability of 1.
2 Principle
An eddy-current probe (or integrated probe/instrument) is placed on (or near) the surface of the coating(s) to
be measured, and the thickness is read from the instrument's readout.
For each instrument, there is a maximum measurable thickness of the coating.
Since this thickness range depends on both the applied frequency of the probe system and the electrical
properties of the coating, the maximum thickness should be determined experimentally, unless otherwise
specified by the manufacturer.
An explanation of eddy-current generation and the calculation of the maximum measurable coating thickness,
d , is given in Annex A.
max
However, in the absence of any other information, the maximum measurable coating thickness, d , can be
max
estimated using Equation (1):
(1)
d = 0,8δ
max 0
where δ is the standard penetration depth of the coating material [see Equation (A.1)].

and displaying changes in amplitude and phase, normally as a direct readout of coating thickness.
