Wet Film Thickness Gage

Instantly Measures Wet Coating Thickness

Model No. :

Brand : Defelsko

These notched gauges offer a fast, reliable method for determining the applied thickness of wet coatings like paints, enamels, and lacquers immediately after application. They are crucial for controlling the wet film to ensure the final dry film thickness meets required specifications and prevents premature failures.

Fast $on$ – $the$ – $spot$ $measurement$ $immediately$ $after$ $coating$
Multiple $styles$ $available$ $for$ $diverse$ $applications$ $and$ $budgets$
Measures $paints$ , $enamels$ , $and$ $other$ $wet$ $films$ $accurately$

$Durable$ $Stainless$ $Steel$ $or$ $Economical$ $Aluminum$ $Options$ : Choose between $long$ – $life$ $certified$ $stainless$ $steel$ $gauges$ for professional longevity, or $economical$ , $disposable$ $aluminum$ $versions$ for cost-effective, high-volume field use.
$Superior$ $Resolution$ $Notch$ $Count$ : Available with up to $40$ $notches$ $per$ $gage$ , providing a $high$ – $resolution$ $range$ $up$ $to$ $3,000$ $µm$ $or$ $120$ $mils$ to ensure precise determination of the wet film thickness.
$Dedicated$ $Edge$ $Verification$ $Features$ : $Selected$ $stainless$ $steel$ $models$ incorporate $dedicated$ $notches$ $for$ $confirming$ $edge$ $radius$ $and$ $chamfers$ , which is essential for compliance with critical industry specifications like NACE SP0178.
$Dual$ $Unit$ $Measurement$ $Scales$ : The $Certified$ $8$ – $sided$ $gages$ feature a $two$ – $sided$ $design$ displaying $both$ $Metric$ $(microns)$ $and$ $Imperial$ $(mils)$ $units$ , streamlining documentation for mixed-specification projects.
$NIST$ $Traceable$ $Accuracy$ : The $Certified$ $Stainless$ $8$ – $Sided$ $gage$ is supplied with an $included$ $Certificate$ $of$ $Accuracy$ $Traceable$ $to$ $NIST$ , ensuring the integrity of the

FAQs

How $do$ $I$ $use$ $a$ $notched$ $Wet$ $Film$ $Thickness$ $Gage$ ?

The gage is $placed$ $perpendicularly$ on the $wet$ $coating$ $surface$ immediately after application. The $highest$ $numbered$ $tooth$ that $remains$ $wet$ after withdrawal gives the $Wet$ $Film$ $Thickness$ $(WFT)$ . The next lower tooth should be dry.

Why $is$ $measuring$ $wet$ $film$ $thickness$ $important$ ?

Measuring WFT allows $applicators$ $to$ $make$ $immediate$ $adjustments$ $to$ $the$ $application$ $rate$ , which is critical to ensure the correct volume of material is applied to $achieve$ $the$ $specified$ $Dry$ $Film$ $Thickness$ $(DFT)$ .

Are $the$ $Aluminum$ $4$ – $Sided$ $gages$ $designed$ $for$ $single$ $use$ ?

The economical $Aluminum$ $4$ – $Sided$ $gages$ are $often$ $treated$ $as$ $disposable$ and kept as a $job$ $site$ $record$ . However, they $can$ $be$ $cleaned$ $and$ $reused$ provided the $notches$ $remain$ $undamaged$ .

Does $the$ $gage$ $work$ $on$ $curved$ $surfaces$ ?

Notched $wet$ $film$ $gages$ are $best$ $suited$ $for$ $flat$ $surfaces$ . While they can be used on $slightly$ $curved$ $surfaces$ , their accuracy will $decrease$ $significantly$ $on$ $highly$ $curved$ $or$ $irregular$ $geometries$ .
