Wet Film Thickness Gauge

The NK by NEURTEK Wheel Gauge allows the precise measurement of wet film thickness in paints and varnishes, ensuring fast and reliable results in quality control testing.

The wheel gauge is a wet film thickness measuring device designed to provide quick and accurate readings of fresh coatings, paints and varnishes. Thanks to its robust construction and double precision-ground wheels, it guarantees reliable results in every test.

How does the NK by NEURTEK wheel gauge work?

• 50 mm diameter and 10 mm wide stainless steel disc.
• Structure composed of two concentric side wheels and a central eccentric disc.
• As it rolls over the wet coating, the eccentric disc comes into contact with the surface, indicating the applied thickness.
• By knowing the solids content of the coating, the dry film thickness can be calculated.

Benefits of using the wheel gauge

• Accurate wet film measurement: Reliable results for testing and quality control.
• Durable material: Stainless steel, resistant to wear and corrosion.
• Easy to use: Efficient design that allows quick and direct readings.
• Complies with international standards: ASTM D1212, UNE EN ISO 2808:2007 and BS 3900/C5.

Recommended applications

• Quality control in paint and coating laboratories.
• Wet film thickness measurement in production processes.
• Evaluation of varnish, lacquer and adhesive films before drying.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the wheel gauge measure dry film directly?
No. The measurement is taken on the wet film, but the dry film thickness can be calculated using the coating’s solids content.

What types of coatings can be measured with the NK by NEURTEK wheel gauge?
It can be used with paints, varnishes, lacquers and any liquid coating in a wet state.

Is the material of the wheel gauge durable?
Yes. It is made of high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and precision in every measurement.
