A. Dear hank, There is such equipment on the market. I have tried out but the results are not always correct when I compare it with a destructive method under the electron microscope. At this moment there is not good equipment for your problem in my view. I can give you a hint. Put little steel plates on your products. Paint the product and measure the layer thickness. Good luck.

A. A good source of film gauges is Paul N. Gardner. [Pompano Beach, FL]. If they do not have it is is probably not worth having.
I use 0-200 mil Quanix 1500 gauge.
