Orange Peel measurement

Powder coatings are known for orange peel surface texture. For process control, we would like to use some method of measuring this orange peel. It may be a method that measures surface roughness or surface waves. Any ideas ?

There is an article in Powder Coating magazine on some work the auto industry is doing in the area of evaluating orange peel. Volume 16, March '05, pg 23.

Hi, Mandar.

We received an ad regarding 3-D non-contact profilometer for measuring orange peel. You might do a search for those terms.
