Wet Film Wheel Thickness Meter

The wet film wheel gauge measures the thickness by rolling the wheel on the wet film surface, determining the difference in position between the notches on the wheel and the points of contact with the coating, allowing direct reading of the wet film thickness. It is used to monitor coating thickness during paint application and guide the painting process.
Selection
Select the measurement range based on the coating thickness range, consider the compatibility of the coating type with the wheel material, determine whether to use mechanical or electronic types based on the on-site environment, ensure ease of operation to influence usage frequency, and choose the type within budget constraints.
