Abstract: In a coating testing system, a spectrometer probe is positioned adjacent to a polymer-coated object (201), maybe at a fixed distance and orientation. Chemometric analysis is performed on spectra acquired using the probe, to measure a property of the coating (203, 205). In an aspect, spectra from a plurality of coating materials are pre-processed and used to create a correlation model correlating the spectra to coating material properties, perhaps validated using validation spectra. In an aspect, a probe holder holds the probe adjacent to the object, and coating properties are determined in real time. In an aspect, the object is a wire, and a channel of the apparatus receives coated wire. The object may be fed through the system, which may perform the coating process. The measured properties may be used for real-time control of the coating process via a feedback loop. The spectrometer may be a near-infra-red spectrometer.
