Visual Determination of Film Thickness via Real-Time Enhanced Digital Imaging

Maximizing coating system longevity reduces total ownership costs to the US Navy fleet. Coating performance is directly tied to achieving proper film thickness control across the entire project surface. A novel concept of using digital camera/filters in synergy with MIL-PRF-23236 coating technology with enhanced optical properties provides unique inspection capabilities.

Maximizing coating system longevity reduces total ownership costs to the US Navy fleet. Coating performance is directly tied to achieving proper film thickness control across the entire project surface. A novel concept of using digital camera/filters in synergy with MIL-PRF-23236 coating technology with enhanced optical properties provides unique inspection capabilities. For example, 100% of a coated surface area can be inspected (versus current statistical approach taking intermittent readings). The feedback is visual and immediate. The work done at the Naval Research Lab (NRL) including the optics technology and concepts employed will be reviewed.
