Description

The TOMLIN Wet Film Thickness Gauges are essential tools for accurately measuring wet film thickness during coating applications. Proper measurement ensures coatings are applied within specification, avoiding issues such as wasted material, substrate exposure, or cracking during curing. These gauges provide a non-destructive and reliable way to control process variables, making them invaluable in environments where dry film thickness can only be measured destructively.

Applications

• Coating Types: Wet paint, enamel lacquer, adhesives, architectural coatings, color coatings, varnish, and chemical industry coatings.
• Industries: Ideal for construction, manufacturing, and any smooth surface applications requiring precise coating thickness control.

Key Benefits

• Cost Savings: Prevents over-application or under-application of coatings, reducing waste and material costs.
• Process Control: Ensures proper film thickness for optimal substrate protection and curing results.
• Non-Destructive Testing: Provides precise measurements without damaging the coating or substrate.

Measuring Procedure

1. Select the Comb: Choose the comb suitable for the approximate thickness of the wet film.
2. Position the Comb: Hold the gauge perpendicular to the coated surface.
3. Apply Pressure: Press the comb into the coating until it stands square on the substrate.
4. Read the Measurement: The wet film thickness is between the highest coated step and the next (higher) uncoated step.
