WET FILM THICKNESS GAUGE
Precision, direct reading instrument for accurately measuring the wet film
thickness of paints, inks, adhesives, gel coats and many other products.
The 2" diameter wheel gauge features 3 rims along its perimeter. 2
rims are the same diameter, spaced apart for gauge support, and are concentric.
The third rim is smaller, located on the outside of the supporting rims.
A calibrated scale is engraved directly on the measuring rim. To measure
wet film thickness, the gauge is rolled over a freshly coated substrate
at the highest range position. The outside rim will pick up the material
only at and below the actual film thickness, which permits immediate and
direct reading. The wheel is then lifted, placed on another part of the
substrate with the wheel at the original position and rolled in the opposite
direction. Examination of the measuring rim will show positions at which
pick-up took place and each point will correspond to a position on the scale
or the wet film thickness. 2 models available: 0-2 mils and 0-4 mils.
