1.1 This test method covers the measurement of dry film thickness of coatings applied to a smooth, textured or curved rigid substrate of wood or a wood-based product

1.2 This test method covers the preparation of wood or wood-based specimens for the purpose of microscopical measurement of dry film thickness.

1.3 This test method suggests an interpretation of dry film thickness of coatings on wood or wood-based products when porous substrates are coated.

1.4 This test method suggests an interpretation of dry film thickness of coatings on wood or wood-based products when substrate attached or non-attached fibers occur in the dry film.

1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
