Pigment Wet Film Thickness Tester

The wet film thickness gauge measures the thickness of uncured coatings directly through a mechanical contact probe. Its working principle involves the probe descending vertically onto the substrate surface, with the wet film thickness value read via a dial or digital display. This instrument is used for on-site monitoring of coating thickness during paint application, helping to control material usage and avoid drying defects. It is commonly employed in coating fields such as shipbuilding and steel structures.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement range to match common coating thicknesses, and the probe material should be resistant to solvent corrosion. The mechanical structure should be lightweight and easy to operate, with clear scales for convenient on-site readings. The calibration function should be comprehensive to ensure long-term measurement stability. Choose an appropriate base according to the flatness of the substrate, and for rough surfaces, opt for a measurement wheel model with tooth marks.
