What is a Wet film thickness gauge?

A wet film thickness meter is a device that measures the film thickness of a wet surface on an object. Most of the wet film thickness meters are analog type film thickness meters, and the film thickness is measured by actually applying the film thickness meter to the wet surface and visually checking how wet the film thickness meter is. Since the film thickness gauge is actually brought into contact with the wet surface for measurement, it is a destructive inspection. Products that measure wet thickness digitally are also on sale. It can be classified into comb type and roller type. Since it is a manual reading type, the film thickness can be obtained quickly.

Application of Wet film thickness gauge

Wet film thickness meters are used in painting processes such as automobiles, food factories, and experimental sites. Specific examples of use include controlling the coating thickness in the coating process, controlling the amount of coating in the food manufacturing process, and measuring wetting. When selecting a wet film thickness meter, it is necessary to consider the measurement accuracy of the film thickness, readability, and the amount of destruction. From inexpensive materials that can be thrown away, there are also types that can be washed and used, and can be selected according to the type of liquid used.
