3.1 This test method is particularly applicable to the measurement of free films and is also satisfactory for the measurement of films on laboratory test panels.

3.2 The accuracy and precision of the thickness measurements may be influenced by the deformability of the coating. This test method is not applicable to coatings that are readily deformable under the load of the measuring instrument.

3.3 The accuracy and precision of the thickness measurements are also influenced by the uniformity of the substrate when the coatings are applied to laboratory test panels.
