Paint Thickness and Mil Gauge Calibration Log

Inspection log for refinish technicians to verify digital mil-thickness gauge calibration, document reference standard checks, and record coating thickness measurement readiness for quality and corrosion documentation.

Inspection Details

• Inspection date and time recorded
• Inspector name and role documented
• Vehicle, job, or work order identified
• Gauge make, model, and serial number recorded

Instrument Condition and Readiness

• Gauge powers on and display is legible
• Probe tip and body are clean, dry, and free of damage
• Battery level is adequate for the inspection
• Gauge is within scheduled calibration interval

Calibration Standard Verification

• Certified thickness standard used for verification
• Zero or baseline check completed on the reference surface
• Verification reading within acceptable tolerance of the standard
• Repeatability confirmed with at least three consecutive readings

Measurement Readiness and Use

• Surface is clean and free of loose contamination before measurement
• Measurement location is suitable for coating thickness reading
• Production coating thickness reading recorded
• Reading method followed consistently across all sample points

Out-of-Calibration Review and Corrective Action

• Any out-of-tolerance condition identified
• Affected readings or parts quarantined or flagged
• Corrective action documented and assigned

Closeout and Sign-Off

• Inspection results reviewed and accepted
• Inspector signature captured
