What is ISO 18452 - Thickness of ceramic films about?
ISO 18452 is an international standard on fine ceramics which covers determination of thickness of ceramic films by contact-probe profilometer.
ISO 18452 specifies a method for the determination of the film thickness of a fine ceramic film and ceramic coatings by a contact-probe profilometer. The method is suitable for film thicknesses in the range of 10nm to 10,000nm .
Note: The method requires a distinct and clearly formed boundary between coated and uncoated parts of the substrate.
Who is ISO 18452 - Thickness of ceramic films for?
ISO 18452 on the thickness of ceramic films is useful for: 
- Fine ceramics manufacturers
- Mechanical engineers
Why should you use ISO 18452 - Thickness of ceramic films?
Ceramic window film is a type of clear or tinted window film that can be applied to windows and glass doors in your vehicle, home or commercial building. The film is comprised of micro-thin layers with ceramic-based nanoparticles. Unlike older technology window films, there are no metallic particles in the film, so it does not conduct electricity or block Wi-Fi, GPS or satellite radio signals.
A profilometer can measure small surface variations in vertical stylus displacement as a function of position. A typical profilometer can measure small vertical features ranging in height from 10 nanometres to 1 millimetre. The height position of the diamond stylus generates an analog signal which is converted into a digital signal, stored, analyzed, and displayed.
ISO 18452 provides you with a method to check the film thickness of ceramic films this can help you estimate the strength the ceramic films could have and this will help you increase safety in your organization.
