Instrument for checking phosphate coating weights

Does anyone know if there is an instrument for checking the coating weight of zinc phosphate on electro galvanized sheet steel. We currently do weigh strip weighs but would like something quick.

XRF or FTIR but you would have to build calibrations for them first.
