Paint Wet Film Thickness Gauge

The wet film thickness gauge measures the thickness by contacting the wet film surface with a toothed steel plate, where the length of paint adhering to the teeth corresponds to the scale value. It is used to monitor coating thickness during construction, preventing excessive thinness or sagging. It is applied in on-site quality control for spraying, rolling, and other coating methods.
Selection
Select stainless steel or plastic material based on the type of coating, choose the range according to the expected thickness range, match the sawtooth shape to the leveling properties of the coating, consider corrosion resistance requirements for the usage environment, and ensure the handle design affects operational convenience.
