Paint Wet Film Tester

A wet film gauge measures the thickness of undried coatings by using gears or discs to contact the surface, determining the thickness based on the spacing of the tooth marks. It is used to monitor coating thickness during application, preventing overly thin or thick layers. Commonly employed in shipbuilding and steel structure painting sites.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement range matching the coating thickness. The gear type is suitable for flat surfaces, while the disc type adapts to curved surfaces. Check the clarity of the scale, and ensure the body is resistant to solvent corrosion. Determine the measurement range based on common coating thicknesses, balancing portability and environmental adaptability.
