Comb Wet Film Thickness Gauge

The comb-type wet film thickness gauge consists of a toothed metal plate, where the height difference between the tooth tips forms a measurement step. After pressing it into the wet coating, the difference between the highest wetted tooth and the adjacent unwetted tooth indicates the wet film thickness. It is used for quick monitoring of paint application during construction to avoid excessive or insufficient thickness. It is commonly employed for on-site quality inspection of paints and inks.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the depth range of the coating to be measured with the tooth depth specifications. The metal material must be corrosion-resistant. The tooth shape should be clear and easy to read, with a grip structure that facilitates vertical pressing. Choose a portable size based on the usage environment, and ensure the scale units meet construction requirements.

Wet film thickness gauge measures the wet film thickness of varnish.
The wet film thickness gauge is a mechanical tool used to measure the thickness of liquid varnish coatings. It operates by rolling the gauge so that the tips of its teeth contact the substrate and leave marks. The thickness value is then obtained by the operator reading the scale of the first tooth that becomes coated with the varnish.
