Wet Paint Thickness Gauge

The ends of the teeth or notches are visually examined some will be coated or wet and some will not be coated or wet.

Wet paint thickness gauge.

This point on the scale indicates the thickness. Here s an explanation of how to use a mil gauge otherwise known as a wet film thickness gauge. Various measurement ranges from 0 to 25µm 0 to 3000µm 0 to. This precision wet film thickness gauge is made of corrosion resistant high grade stainless steel and includes a robust carrying box.

These gauges display readings in mils on one side and microns on the other side. Get a precision coating thickness gauge from grainger to help measure the thickness of paint plating coatings and galvanizing on ferrous and non ferrous metals. The gauge may now be read to determine the wet film thickness. For readings in mils one mil equals 0 001.

Some models include a holster a carrying case or both. By rolling the gauge through a wet coating the center disc eventually touches the film. These gauges display readings in mils on one side and microns on the other side. Find mechanical and electronic coating thickness gauges with a variety of measuring ranges.

The coating thickness is indicated by the precision graduation presented on the wet film thickness gauge. Measure the thickness of wet coatings such as paint. For readings in mils one mil equals 0 001. The wet film thickness wft of the coating lies between the values of the smallest un coated dry tooth or notch and the largest coated wet tooth or notch.

This is an easy to use and important little tool that ensures. A wet film thickness gage should be used by the applicator as the coating is being applied to ensure that the measurement is representative of the calculated wet film before significant solvent evaporation occurs. Wet film thickness or wft is the measured thickness of any applied wet paint that is liquid based. The wet film thickness lies between the biggest value coated or wet tooth and the smallest value uncoated or dry tooth.
