Wet Film Thickness Wheel

The wet film thickness gauge uses three raised points on its rim to contact the surface of the wet film. The height difference between the central raised point and the two side raised points provides the thickness reading. It is used to directly measure the thickness of uncured coatings during paint application, guiding adjustments to the coating amount and preventing the film thickness from failing to meet standards after drying.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the measurement range should cover common coating thicknesses, with clear and easy-to-read gear markings. The wheel body material should be resistant to solvent corrosion and have a sturdy structure to prevent deformation. Choose a thickness measurement wheel with an appropriate diameter based on the flatness of the coating. For curved workpieces, opt for a small-diameter model.
