Wet Film & Powder Thickness
When applying a liquid coating, by measuring the uncured film thickness, it is possible to determine the eventual dry film thickness. Applying too much coating wastes time and materials. It can also affect the performance and finish of the product. Too much wet film can cause the coating to crack as it cures; too little coating increases the risk that the substrate will not be sufficiently protected, leading to rust spots.

Punched Wet Film Combs (Aluminium)
112AL
The Elcometer 112AL, being punched from aluminium, is not as accurate as precision formed stainless steel wet film combs and has a shorter lifespan.

product
Plastic Wet Film Combs
154
Metric and Imperial values are on the same comb, 50 to 800μm on one side, 2 to 32mils on the other.

Wet Film Wheels
3230
By rolling the gauge through a wet coating, the centre wheel eventually touches the film. This point on the scale indicates the thickness.

Coil Coating Wet Film Wheels
Elcometer 3230
The outer wheels are knurled to allow measurements to be taken on slippery coatings or on fast moving substrates.

Uncured Powder Film Comb
155
This enables the application system to be set up and fine tuned prior to the curing process. In turn, this will reduce the amount of scrap and over-spray.Place the comb into the powder and slide the comb along the surface. The measurement points (or teeth) are pointed and allow the powder to flow around them.

Pfund Thickness Gauge
3233
Available in aluminium or stainless steel this instrument consists of two concentric cylinders, one sliding inside the other. A spherical glass lens, which has engraved measurements, is fitted to the end of the central cylinder and when pressed into the wet film, leaves a circular trace.The diameter of the mark on the lens is measured and, using the supplied conversion table, the thickness of the coating can be easily assessed.Ideal for measuring the thickness of wet translucent products such as varnishes, oils etc.Measurement range of 2.25 - 360μm (0.09 - 14.17mils)

Long Edge Wet Film Combs (Stainless Steel)
3238
Each comb has 24 measurement steps (teeth) providing a more accurate wet film thickness value.

product
Wet Film Combs (Stainless Steel)
Elcometer 115
Four separate thickness ranges are available up to a maximum of 1,250μm or 50mils and are manufactured to an accuracy of ±5% of marked value or ±3µm (0.12mil), whichever is greater.

Hexagonal Wet Film Combs (Stainless Steel)
112 & 3236
These hexagonal precision formed stainless steel wet film combs are long lasting, reusable and supplied in a range of thicknesses measuring up to 3,000μm (120mils).
