Spot On uniform Plating Thickness Standards
Uniform Plating Thickness Standards are used to calibrate / validate the plating thickness measurement equipment. It can further be used in resolving the contradiction in assessment of plating thickness of a plated component as asessed on different equipments.
If your equipment is showing the right thickness on our standard, you can claim correctness of your equipment.
The increasing consciousness to achieve right plating thickness is the demand of industry today. Various properties of a plated component - like corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, solderability, dimensional accuracy and so on - being a direct function of plating thickness, makes "exact plating thickness" a crucial demand. "SPOT ON" STANDARDS ARE CATERING THAT DEMAND.
Self assessment of correctness of thickness as shown by your equipment needs to be done frequently to avoid rework. This must be done on a standard. This futher takes care of the grievances arising on account of diference in plating thickness shown at customer and supplier end. Needless to mention the financial impact if the geographical distance of the customer and supplier is more, like that in exporting assemblies involving plated components.
We have developed Uniform plating thickness standards for destructive thickness measurement equipments with overall variation within ± 2.5%, typically 3.5% throughout the plated area. The plated area on the standard is circular and measures around 40 mm. The distribution of deposition of the metal over the standard is closely controlled. Every standard that is manufactured, is then counterconfirmed with utmost care and precision for uniformity and achieved thickness of deposition.
We have developed Uniform plating thickness standards for XRF thickness measurement equipments with overall variation within ± 1.5%, typically 2.0% throughout the plated area. The plated area on the standard is square and measures around 10x10 mm. The distribution of deposition of the metal over the standard is closely controlled.
Every standard that is manufactured, is then checked for thickness of deposition and uniformity against the secondary masters with utmost care and precision.
A manufacturing system has been developed for producing standards of various shapes and sizes The standards are traceable to the secondary masters that in turn are traceable to the primary masters. The primary masters are manufactured with extreme precision and are measured by standard precise metrological methods. The primary masters are traceable to National Physical Laboratories (NPL).
The Spot On Uniform Plating Thickness Standard will assist you in meeting the more stringent requirements of your Quality System elements.
