Paint Film Measurement Gauge

The coating thickness gauge measures the thickness of coatings through magnetic induction or eddy current principles. The probe generates an electromagnetic field upon contact with the coating surface, and the film thickness is calculated based on the differences in substrate material properties. It is used for on-site inspection of coating quality and to control the uniformity of application thickness. It is suitable for applications such as anti-corrosion coatings on metal components and surface painting on plastic parts.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate type—metal or non-metal—to match the corresponding model, ensuring the measurement range covers the thickness of the coating to be tested. The probe size should accommodate the curvature of the workpiece surface, and environmental requirements must align with on-site temperature and humidity conditions. Check the calibration certificate and error range, and ensure the operation interface is user-friendly and portable for ease of use.

Operating specifications for on-site measurement of coating wet film thickness using wet film combs
This article introduces the operational standards for on-site measurement of coating wet film thickness using a wet film comb gauge. First, it explains the measurement principle of the wet film comb gauge, which involves estimating the thickness by observing the extent to which the teeth of the gauge are coated with the paint.
Rapid Assessment of Paint Hiding Efficiency by Minimum Wet Film Thickness Method
This article introduces a method for rapidly evaluating the hiding efficiency of coatings—the minimum wet film thickness method. Traditional methods are time-consuming, whereas this approach quantifies hiding power by measuring the minimum wet film thickness required for the coating to completely hide the substrate, making it simple and quick to operate.
The difference between a wire bar coater and a gap-type wet film applicator.
The wire-wound drawdown bar directly quantifies the coating through the gap between wires, making it suitable for thin coating preparation with high precision, particularly for low-viscosity fluids. In contrast, the gap-type wet film applicator indirectly controls film thickness through the groove depth, with the actual coating thickness significantly influenced by material properties, making it more suitable for high-viscosity coatings and thick film preparation.
