Default Re: Calculating abodized finish, density, sealant of color?

Accurately checking an anodize coating is normally a destructive process that is down in a lab. You can check coating thickness with micrometers but you have to have accurate measurements from before coating and measure in the exact same places. This will not give any indication as to pore size or density. You can use a current eddy meter to measure coating thickness but these meters are usually cost prohibitive.
Hope this helps.
