ILAG basic test - This test is used to determine the coating thickness of the coating
Procedure: Each system has its own specification defined by the coating manufacturer. Manufacturers of cookware must meet the specifications for the dry film thickness (DFT!). Sometimes it is difficult to measure the DFT directly on the substrate during production, e.g. with cast aluminum, chrome steel and hard substrates. In such cases, the measurement must be carried out on a smooth aluminum sheet in order to obtain a value that is as close to reality as possible.
Assessment: The dry film thickness (DFT) is tested using electronic measurements at various points on the object or sheet.
Conclusion: As a rule of thumb, the higher the DFT, the more durable the coating.
