Hi, Vivek. It is hard to offer an answer that is not misleading when you don't offer any context with your question. But people very rarely measure the chrome thickness as it is very thin and will vary over the surface of the part. Usually all that is required is complete "coverage". This is probably something like 30 to 60 millionths of an inch. Get back to us with your situation please.

Hi Vivek,
I wonder when you ask about chrome plating you mean it in the general sense of the total plating processes used the achieve a "chrome plated" finish? Or do you just mean the chromium thickness?
