## Abstract

The reference test method for non-destructive measurement of anodic coating thickness on aluminium using eddy-current instruments. Specifies probe calibration procedure (typically against shim foils traceable to gravimetric reference samples), measurement-area requirements (minimum surface area for valid reading), and reporting conventions. The production-floor instrument of record for anodize thickness QC in plants worldwide.
