Wet Film Thickness Gauge WG
Wet Film Thickness Gauge WG is a hexagonal stainless steel comb resistant to acids and bases. Precision models available for various coating applications.
What Is the Wet Film Thickness Gauge WG?
The Wet Film Thickness Gauge WG is a hexagonal tool made of high-quality stainless steel, designed to provide reliable and precise wet film thickness measurement immediately after paint or coating application.
Each gauge has six sides with graduated teeth and two support legs per edge. The last tooth that touches the wet coating indicates the actual thickness of the applied film.
Why Use a Wet Film Thickness Gauge?
Controlling wet film thickness before the coating dries helps you:
- Prevent waste and reapplication.
- Ensure a uniform finish.
- Save time and material costs.
- Estimate the dry film thickness, when the solids content is known.
Key Features
- Durable stainless steel: Long-lasting, corrosion-resistant, and fully reusable.
- Wide measurement range: From 20 to 10,000 microns, suitable for nearly all industrial and decorative coating applications.
- Simple and effective use:
- Place the hexagonal wet film gauge perpendicular to the freshly coated surface.
- Wait a few seconds.
- Remove and inspect the teeth.
- The wet film thickness lies between the last “wet” tooth and the first “dry” tooth.
- Standards-compliant: Complies with UNE 4803-80, ISO 2808-7B, BS3900-C5 (method 7B), and ASTM D4414-A.
- Certified calibration available: Calibration certificate available with traceability for quality assurance.
