Dual-Mode Wet/Dry Film Thickness Tester

The wet and dry film thickness gauge measures coating thickness through magnetic induction or eddy current principles. Wet film measurement involves pressing a toothed wheel into the coating and reading the scale, while dry film measurement uses a probe to contact the cured coating and display the value. It is used to monitor wet film thickness during construction to ensure uniform coating application, and to verify that the final dry film thickness meets standards. It is suitable for on-site quality control in industries such as paints, inks, and plastic films.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the measurement range should cover the coating thickness, and the substrate type should match the principle of magnetic induction (for ferrous substrates) or eddy current (for non-ferrous substrates). For wet film gauges, opt for a stainless steel gear structure. For dry film gauges, focus on probe accuracy and calibration functions. Portable models are suitable for on-site use, while fixed models are ideal for laboratory settings. Environmental adaptability should include temperature compensation and shock-resistant design, and the operation interface must be simple and easy to read.
