1 Scope
This document specifies methods for the determination of the thickness of the lacquer
film applied inside cylindrical and conical aluminium tubes. The methods are a reference.
They can also be used as a reference when calibrating other electronic instruments
suitable for determining coating weight thickness. It is applicable to aluminium tubes
used for packing pharmaceutical, cosmetic, hygiene, food and other domestic products.
NOTE Although not specified in this document there are available suitable automatic film
thickness measurement instruments that provide instantaneous results with good accuracy
(<1μm).
