Wet Film Thickness Gauge

Features

Consists of four sides with different ranges of value with notches that are machined into the gauge sides

Teeth between the notches of the gauge serve as references to the ends of the edge of the gauge

The notches present on same sides are shorter relative to the outside notches. Each of these signifies varying distances from the outside edge teeth corresponding to zero.

Distances represent the wet coating thickness surface that needs to be measured

Notches are marked off in MILS (0.001 inches (0.002 cm)) on one side of the gauge and microns on the other side of gauge

Measures a liquid coating’s thickness in the easiest and fastest manner

Application

Measures the coating’s thickness immediately after the coating has been applied on the material.

For a particular side, the two ends of the edge are pushed into the coating until they are in contact with the substrate. Those ends act as the zero reference.

The Zip-Chem^® Wet Film Thickness Gauge must be placed at a 90-degree angle to the coated material and must be completely contacting it.

Once the measuring gauge is taken out of the material, depth is determined by the biggest notch that can be seen in the coating and the smallest notch that cannot be seen in the coating.

For instance, if the largest notch that is observed is at 8 MILS (203 microns) and the smallest notch that is not observed is at 10 MILS (254 microns), it can be said that the wet film thickness is at 8 to 10 MILS (203 to 254 microns).

To achieve accurate measurements, the following must be observed:

Wet film thickness must be measured immediately after the coating has been applied for coatings that cure
The gauge must be used on a smooth, flat surface without irregularities
Several measurements should be taken in series to get an average result
The gauge should be cleaned with a soft cloth after use
