5.15 Measurement Accuracy
Factors of affecting measurement accuracy, please reference the chapter 6 Factors Affecting
Measurement Accuracy. Under normal use and careful calibration, all subsequent
measurements will lie within the guaranteed measuring tolerance. When using the statistics
programmer for obtaining a mean value it is advisable to place the probe several times at a
typical measuring spot or at fixed measuring spot.
Any false readings or outliers can be deleted immediately. The final reading derives from the
statistical calculation and from the guaranteed tolerance levels of the gauge.
T(coating thickness)=M(mean value)±S(standard deviation)±A(measuring accuracy).

The measured sample must correspond to the calibration sample in substrate material properties,
curvature radius, or the more closely the measured sample matches the calibration sample, the
more accurate the measuring. In addition, curvature radius should meet the minimum value as
specified in the specifications.
The minimum substrate thickness and the minimum measuring areas as specified in the
specifications should be taken into account. Need to recalibrate (Zero/Multi-point) for different
measured sample for higher accuracy.
To achieve high-accuracy readings, it is advisable to log calibration values several times. In this
way, the gauge will automatically establish a mean calibration value. The high-accuracy
calibration is an obvious advantage when calibrating on uneven and rough surfaces.
The point at which measurement is made should always be similar with the calibration point,
especially in the case of corners and edges of small parts.
Important Note: The enclosed substrates are intended for checking accuracy only and not for
calibration purposes. User must recalibrate the gauge according to practical applications.
7 Calibration
User should read chapter 6 Factors Affecting Measurement Accuracy firstly, and must
recalibrate the gauge according to measured product sample. The gauge provid es basic
calibration, zero calibration and multi-point calibration.
•Basic calibration: Also be the factory default calibration, can only for measurement on
even surfaces and if the measuring object has the same material, curvature, and size
as the factory provided substrates. For more details, please consult with your
supplier.
•Zero calibration: Recommended if measuring errors up to ± (2%+1um).
•Multi-point calibration: The permitted measuring errors will be max. ± (1~2%+1um). If
only one point calibration, it is recommended if readings to be expected will be close
to the calibration value. If more than one point calibration, it is recommended for
measurements on rough surfaces or for precise measurements on smooth surfaces if
thickness to be expected lies between that of calibration point.
Zero Calibration
a. Press and hold “ZERO Key” until hearing “beep...beep beep...”. The LCD will flash “ZERO”
symbol.
b. Place the probe on uncoated sample and raise it after one beep.
c. Repeat step b and c several times to obtain mean value.
d. Finished. Press “ZERO Key” to exit calibration mode.

© PCE Instruments
13
Multi-point Calibration
a. In measure mode, press “CAL key” once to enter calibration mode.
b. Zero calibration according to the previous chapter and then lay the calibration foil on an
uncoated sample.
c. Apply the probe and raise it after one beep. A reading will be shown. Press “Up Key” or
“Down Key” to increase or decrease the readings or hold the key for changing continuously
until the required foil thickness value shown. The LCD will show current calibration point
“Ptn X ”. The “X” will be flashing.
d. Apply the probe to the test sample several times, and every time raise the probe, if you press
“CAL Key”, after “beep...beep beep...”, it will establish a mean value for current calibration
point.
e. Press “Left Key” to confirm and end current calibration point, and the “X” will be steady. Or
press “Right Key” to cancel and end current calibration point.
f. For more calibration points, use another calibration foil and repeat the step c, d and e.
g. Finished. Press “CAL Key” to exit calibration mode.
Note:
a. Each group has individual zero calibration and multi-point calibration.
b. When calibration up to 4 points, user must clear the finished points firstly to restart.
c. Readings measured before will not be affected by new calibration.
d. In calibration mode, measuring will not be affected.
e. Recommended to work in single measure mode when calibrating.
Shot-blasted surfaces
The physical nature of shot-blasted surfaces results in coating thickness readings that are too
high. The mean thickness over the peaks can be determined as follows.
Method one:
a. The gauge should be calibrated according to “Multi-point Calibration”. Use a
smooth calibration sample with the same curvature radius and the same substrate as the
later measuring sample.
b. Take approx. 10 readings on the uncoated, shot-blasted sample to produce mean value A.
c. Take approx. 10 further readings on the coated, shot-blasted test sample to produce mean
value B.
d. The coating thickness is T=(B-A)±S. The “S” is the greater standard deviation of step b and
step c.
Method two:
a. The gauge should be calibrated according to “Multi-point Calibration” on the shot
blasted sample.
b. Take approx. 10 readings on the test sample to produce the mean value that used as final
coating thickness.
