Wet Thickness Gauge

These Gauges are designed to quickly and easily measure the thickness of coatings immediately after they have been applied to a substrate.

Wet Film Thickness  gauges are also commonly known as: Combs, MIL Gauges, Step Gauges and Notched Gauges.

It measures the thickness of almost all types of organic coatings such as:

• Varnishes
• Lacquers
• Paints
• Resins
• Gel coats
• Enamels

It can also be used to measure powder coating thickness before it goes through curing. Wet film thickness is measured to determine the correct dry coating thickness.

A wet film thickness gauge is especially valuable for evaluating the coating when working with a new finishing system or for calibrating new spray equipment.

The drawing indicates that tooth marked 3 mils is covered with the wet paint and tooth marked 4 mils is not covered. This indicates that the true wet film thickness of the material is between 3 and 4 mils thick.

It comes under three variations:

1. Single use Wet Fim Gauge
2. Multi use Wet Film Gauge
3. Wet Laminate Gauge

Single Use Wet Film Gauge:

It is made up of plastic and measures up to Mils 2-36 / Micron 50-900
Triangular shape allows more measurements per edge
Holes allows label attachment

Multi Use Wet Film Gauge:

It is made up of Aluminium and is a Dual scale gauge, measuring up to 80 Mils on side #1 and from 25 to 2032 Microns on side #2
It is Pocket sized at 2¼” – 3¼” and is easily portable
Teeth or notches are machined into the sides of the gauge

Wet Laminate Gauge:

It is made up of Anodized Aluminium with Steel Lock for repeated usages
Measures up to 1″ of thickness
Its graduated cylinder makes it uncomplicated in taking readings.
