Paint Film Wet Film Thickness Gauge

The wet film thickness gauge is a metal plate with a toothed structure, where the heights of the tooth ends are arranged in equal increments. To measure, the gauge is pressed vertically into the undried coating, and the scale marking the boundary between the coated and uncoated teeth is observed. This value represents the wet film thickness. It is used for quickly monitoring coating consumption and estimating dry film thickness during construction.
Selection
When selecting, consider a measurement range that covers common coating thicknesses, with stainless steel material for corrosion resistance and a serrated design for easy reading. The tolerance of the tooth tips must comply with standards, and the grip area should be non-slip. Choose the appropriate specification based on the type of coating, such as selecting a larger measurement range for thick paste coatings.
