5.1.7.4 Reference specimens<br />

Reference specimens should consist of shims or sheets of the material to be<br />

tested (or of a material of the same conductivity) which cover the expected<br />

range of thickness. As for non-conducting coating thickness measurement, if<br />

the measurement is to determine whether or not the test part thickness lies<br />

within a given range, one specimen with the thickness of the lower limit and<br />

one with the thickness of the higher limit should be used. However, a third<br />

specimen, with thickness in the middle of the range, is desirable. If, however,<br />

the actual thickness of the material is to be measured, at least three<br />

specimen thicknesses are required. These should have thicknesses equal to<br />

the maximum and minimum expected thicknesses, and one approximately<br />

midway between these. More shim thicknesses may be required if a wide<br />

range of thickness is being measured and the response is notably nonlinear.<br />
