About Wet Film Thickness Gauge
Wet Film Thickness Gauge
Caltech india manufactures stainless steel gauges are made from quality steel with specially engraved surface markings have a wide measurement range with high-resolution with measurement, catering for virtually all of the standard wet film thickness measurement requirements.
A range of precision gauges is used to measure wet film thickness of painted surfaces. WFT gage are used for the quality control of wet film paint thickness measurements. WFT gauges are supplied in micron / Thou Mill scales or dual micron and Thou/ Mill scales. It is also called as wet film comb. Wet film thickness gauges are available in different shapes (Square, Rectangular, Hexagonal, Octagonal).
Precision Measurement Across a Broad RangeThe Hexagonal Notched Wet Film Gauge stands out with its 24-step measurement capability, enabling users to swiftly check wet film thickness from 25 to 3000 microns. Its high resolution, robust stainless steel construction, and engraved numeric display provide dependable performance for paint, lacquer, and coating applications.
Reusable and Built for LongevityEngineered for repeated use, the gauge features a polished, corrosion-resistant finish, making it easy to clean with a soft cloth or solvent. Its compact design and protective case ensure convenient storage and transport, while compliance with ASTM D4414 and ISO 2808 guarantees professional standards.
FAQs of Wet Film Thickness Gauge:
Q: How do I use the Hexagonal Notched Wet Film Gauge for measuring wet film thickness?
A: To measure, simply place the gauge perpendicular to the freshly applied surface and firmly press down. Remove it and inspect which steps show wet coating contact, then read the engraved numeric value between the last wetted and the first unwetted notch to determine the thickness in microns.
Q: What types of coatings or media can this gauge be used with?
A: This gauge is suitable for measuring the wet film thickness of paints, coatings, and lacquers, ensuring precise application and compliance with industry standards.
Q: When should I measure wet film thickness during application?
A: Wet film thickness should be checked immediately after the coating is applied and while still wet, to ensure the proper thickness before the material starts to dry or cure.
Q: Where can I use this gauge, and is it durable for industrial environments?
A: Designed for use in various application sites, including industrial, manufacturing, and field environments, the gauges stainless steel body resists corrosion and operates reliably between 0C and 60C and up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing).
Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the wet film gauge?
A: After use, clean the gauge by wiping with a soft cloth. For more stubborn residues, use an appropriate solvent compatible with the measured material. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the polished finish.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this wet film thickness gauge?
A: The gauge delivers quick, accurate, and repeatable measurements, ensuring coatings meet specified standards. Its manual, power-free operation, and reusable design make it cost-effective and practical for ongoing quality control.
