Coating DFT Inspection 2026 — SSPC PA-2 + Tooke Decoded

dry film thickness measurement per SSPC PA-2, Tooke gauge, magnetic + ultrasonic gauges, calibration + sample frequency. ASNT NDT Level III + code-expert authored. This guide decodes the topic step by step.

Why It Matters

dry film thickness measurement per SSPC PA-2 is a critical coating/lining QA/QC step. Failures translate to premature corrosion + service-environment leaks + costly re-work. Right-first-time inspection is non-negotiable.

Inspection Procedure

dry film thickness measurement per SSPC PA-2, Tooke gauge, magnetic + ultrasonic gauges, calibration + sample frequency. Includes pre-application surface prep verification (SSPC SP3-10), wet-film thickness during application, post-application DFT + adhesion + holiday detection.

Acceptance Criteria

Per the relevant SSPC / NACE / ASTM standard. Typically: minimum DFT ≥ specification, zero holidays at appropriate voltage, adhesion class per substrate, no application defects (runs, sags, pinholes).

Atlantis NDT Integration

Coating inspection records bundled per asset, hash-linked, surface-prep + wet-film + DFT + adhesion + holiday log. Atlantis Digital Twin platform layers coating-condition map on 3D model. Atlantis NDT ERP tracks inspector cert + calibration + procedure version.

FAQs

Q1: How fast can Atlantis mobilise globally?

Confirm onsite availability, remote support, personnel responsibilities and turnaround in the proposal. Delivery arrangements depend on the examination scope and location.

Q2: How long does implementation take?

A: Typical 4-12 weeks depending on scope + integrations.

Q3: Cost?

Compliance and Audit Records

Atlantis NDT keeps audit-ready records under its ISO 9001 quality system; the company is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and is not accredited to ISO/IEC 17020 or ISO/IEC 17025. Every inspection, procedure revision, inspector qualification record and calibration certificate is timestamped with reviewer approval recorded, and kept for the period the governing code, regulator or client requires. If your own organisation is working toward ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 17020 or ISO/IEC 17025, see what each standard asks of an NDT programme.

Integration Path with Atlantis NDT Stack

Atlantis ERP has an open REST API, so it connects to SAP, Maximo, NetSuite or any other system that accepts API connections; each integration is scoped with you during implementation. Free integration scoping consultation — Atlantis stack: ERP + Digital Twin + Reporting Software + LMS.

Free Consultation + Next Steps

Use the consultation to define the asset, examination objective, governing requirements, delivery arrangements and records needed. The proposal should identify responsibilities, timing, exclusions and any software or integration work.

Atlantis NDT Implementation Roadmap

Atlantis NDT delivers via a phased implementation roadmap — typically four to twenty weeks total depending on team size, scope, and integration surface. Phase 1 (weeks 1-2): free 30-minute discovery call + scoping document + named delivery lead assignment. Phase 2 (weeks 3-6): kickoff workshop, asset register import, inspector roster + cert scheme migration, procedure pack tailoring. Atlantis ERP has an open REST API, so it connects to SAP, Maximo, NetSuite or any other system that accepts API connections; each integration is scoped with you during implementation. Phase 4 (weeks 13-20): full production cadence, monthly performance review, audit-readiness drill, expansion to additional sites or modules.

Running this as a programme, not a one-off

If you are responsible for an inspection programme rather than a single job, the recurring problem is rarely the code — it is keeping measured thickness, damage-mechanism assignment and next-inspection dates in one defensible place. Asset integrity management software covers keeping measured thickness readings per CML in one place, so the RBI (API 580/581) and fitness-for-service (API 579) work your integrity team or its specialists carry out starts from measured data rather than default rates. Atlantis supplies the NDT data and the software to hold it; it does not perform RBI or FFS assessments.
