Metallic coatings - Measurement of coating thickness - Scanning electron microscope method (ISO 9220:2022)

This document specifies a destructive method for the measurement of the local thickness of metallic and other inorganic coatings by examination of cross-sections with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The method is applicable for thicknesses up to several millimetres, but for such thick coatings it is usually more practical to use a light microscope (see ISO 1463). The lower thickness limit depends on the achieved measurement uncertainty (see Clause 10).
NOTE       The method can also be used for organic layers when they are neither damaged by the preparation of the cross-section nor by the electron beam during imaging.

Metallische Überzüge - Messung der Schichtdicke - Verfahren mit Rasterelektronenmikroskop (ISO 9220:2022)

Dieses Dokument legt ein zerstörendes Verfahren zur Messung der örtlichen Schichtdicke metallischer und anderer anorganischer Überzüge fest, in dem Querschnitte mit einem Rasterelektronenmikroskop (REM) untersucht werden. Das Verfahren ist für Schichtdicken bis zu mehreren Millimetern anwendbar, allerdings ist es für solch dicke Schichten üblicherweise praktischer, ein Lichtmikroskop (siehe ISO 1463) zu verwenden. Die untere Dickengrenze hängt von der erreichten Messunsicherheit (siehe Abschnitt 10) ab.
ANMERKUNG Das Verfahren kann auch bei organischen Überzügen angewendet werden, wenn diese weder durch die Präparation des Querschnitts noch durch den Elektronenstrahl während der Bildgebung beschädigt werden.

Revêtements métalliques - Mesurage de l'épaisseur de revêtement - Méthode au microscope électronique à balayage (ISO 9220:2022)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode destructive pour le mesurage de l’épaisseur locale des revêtements métalliques et d’autres revêtements inorganiques par examen de coupes transversales au microscope électronique à balayage (MEB). Cette méthode s’applique aux épaisseurs pouvant atteindre plusieurs millimètres; toutefois, pour les revêtements d’une telle épaisseur, il est généralement plus pratique d’utiliser un microscope optique (voir l’ISO 1463). La limite inférieure de l’épaisseur dépend de l’incertitude de mesure obtenue (voir l’Article 10).
NOTE            Cette méthode peut également être utilisée pour les couches organiques lorsqu’elles ne sont endommagées ni par la préparation de la coupe transversale ni par le faisceau d’électrons pendant l’imagerie.

Kovinske prevleke - Merjenje debeline prevleke - Postopek z vrstičnim elektronskim mikroskopom (ISO 9220:2022)

Ta dokument določa porušitveno metodo za merjenje lokalne debeline kovinskih in drugih anorganskih prevlek s pregledom prečnih prerezov z vrstičnim elektronskim mikroskopom (SEM). Postopek se uporablja za debeline do nekaj milimetrov, vendar je za tako debele premaze uporaba svetlobnega mikroskopa običajno bolj praktična (glej standard ISO 1463). Spodnja mejna vrednost debeline je odvisna od dosežene merilne negotovosti (glej točko 10). OPOMBA: Postopek je mogoče uporabiti tudi za organske sloje, če se ne poškodujejo med pripravo prečnih prerezov oziroma jih ne poškoduje elektronski snop med slikanjem.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
