(surface) scaling depth
"(Surface) scaling" appears to be used quite often in the field of building materials.
See, for instance, http://www.tfhrc.gov/pavement/pccp/pubs/01164/sect3a.htm with many examples of use, among them:
"Selection Guidelines for Deicer Scaling/Deterioration
...
* Low severity is characterized by very little <B>scaling</B> of a <B>depth</B> less than 3 mm.
* Medium severity is characterized by moderate <B>scaling</B> having a <B>depth</B> of 3 mm to 12 mm leaving coarse aggregates exposed. Some staining in vicinity of joints might be observed.
* High severity is characterized by extensive <B>scaling</B> having a <B>depth</B> in excess of 12 mm. Coarse aggregate is exposed and in some cases missing. Patching and staining may be evident in affected area. ..."
