High Temperature

   Hello My name is Kris Rivera. I am a new Level 1 Coatings Inspector. I work at an an oil refinery in Louisiana. Looking to see what is the best solution to my problem. 

   I am working on industrial vessels and piping that are live and in process. We will be cleaning and coating these substrates. The operating temperatures for these multiple substrates are between 175-400 degrees. We are unable to shut down these structures to work under ambient conditions. We will be performing all cleaning and coating under the current operating temperature ranges.

   I have the gauges and probe that can endure these temperatures for dry film thickness. I do not however have the proper gauge or probe that will be able to take anchor profile readings at these temperatures. I have reached out to Elcometer and Deflesko and they do not manufacture any probes that can operate under these extreme temperatures. These temperatures are too extreme for Testex Tape. The comparator would not be accurate enough for these situations.

   In your experience, what would be the best way/tool to use to measure anchor profile under these extreme temperatures? My email is Kris@KrisRivera.com. If you could point me in the right direction your time would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Kris, and thanks for asking "what would be the best way/tool to use to measure anchor profile under these extreme temperatures?   Sorry I did not notice your question much sooner.   Did you get a reply/response to your question?    If not, let us know, I will be happy to enlist thelp of our protective coating colleagues/SMEs.

Hello,

Thank you for responding back to me. No, I have not gotten a response or any answers to my questions. I would definitely appreciate your help in educating me in the proper manner to get anchor profile readings under extreme high temperatures.

Thank You Kindly,
