Wet Film Thickness Gauge WG

The NK by NEURTEK hexagonal comb accurately measures the thickness of wet paint or coating layers, ensuring uniformity and traceable results.

What is a hexagonal comb for wet film thickness?

The NEURTEK hexagonal wet film comb is a thickness gauge made of high-quality stainless steel, designed to accurately determine the thickness of fresh paint or coating immediately after application.

Thanks to its six-sided design with graduated teeth, this instrument allows you to instantly know the actual thickness of the wet layer, ensuring uniformity and control in painting processes.

Why is it important to measure wet film thickness?

Measuring the wet film thickness before drying is essential to ensure an optimal finish and avoid waste. Its main advantages include:

• Prevents excess or insufficient product during application.
• Ensures a uniform, professional finish.
• Reduces costs and rework caused by application errors.
• Allows estimation of the final dry film thickness by knowing the coating’s solids content.

Hexagonal comb features

• Durable material: Made of resistant, reusable stainless steel.
• Wide measuring range: From 20 to 10,000 microns, ideal for all types of industrial applications.
• Direct measurement: 
  • Each side of the hexagon includes graduated teeth.
  • The comb is placed on the freshly painted surface.
  • The last tooth that touches the wet coating indicates the applied thickness.

• Complies with international standards: UNE 4803-80, ISO 2808-7B, BS 3900-C5 (method 7B) and ASTM D4414-A.

Recommended applications

The NEURTEK hexagonal comb is widely used in industries that require precise control of coating thickness, such as:

• Automotive and industrial refinishing.
• Machinery manufacturing and metal structures.
• Architectural painting and construction.
• Industrial and protective coatings.

Calibration and traceability

Each hexagonal thickness gauge can be supplied with a calibration certificate that guarantees measurement accuracy and traceability according to internationally recognized standards.
