Wet Film Coating Thickness Gauge

The wet film thickness gauge measures the thickness of undried coatings through mechanical contact or optical methods, based on the principle of probe contact with the wet film surface or changes in reflected light. Its function is to monitor the coating thickness in real-time during application, ensuring uniform coverage. It is used for on-site inspection of wet coatings such as paints and inks, helping to adjust the coating process.
Selection
When selecting a wet film thickness gauge, consider the coating type and substrate to ensure compatibility. Choose between mechanical or optical models based on the measurement range and environment. Verify the instrument's accuracy and ease of use to meet on-site operational requirements. Additionally, consider brand reliability and maintenance costs to ensure long-term and stable usage.
