Determination of Thickness and Chemical Composition of Zinc-Based Coatings on Metal – Routine Method. SS-EN 10318:2005 describes a routine method for determining the thickness and chemical composition of zinc-based coatings on metallic substrates. This method ensures that the coating provides adequate corrosion protection and meets specific compositional requirements. The standard specifies testing methods such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and wet chemical analyses to measure the thickness and composition of the coatings. This standard is critical for manufacturers of galvanized products and is primarily applied in the construction and automotive industries.
