    TUTORIALS

    The DeFelsko 8-Sided Steel Wet Film Thickness Gauge is designed to measure wet film thickness during the application of paints and coatings.

    Its double-sided design provides measurements in two units: micrometers (µm) and mils, offering versatility for metric and imperial coating specifications.

    To perform a measurement, place the gauge perpendicular to the wet coating, press until the support points contact the substrate, then remove it and observe which notches have been wetted by the coating.

  • Function Details

    FUNCTION DETAILS

    8-Sided Design
    Features eight measurement faces, providing multiple ranges and measurement points in a single instrument.

    µm and Mils Readings
    Provides measurements in micrometers on one side and mils on the reverse, supporting both metric and imperial specifications.

    Up to 1,500 µm / 60 mils
    Suitable for checking different wet film thicknesses during paint and coating application.

    40 Measurement Notches
    Features 40 notches distributed across the eight faces, providing multiple measurement points.

    Stainless Steel Construction
    Manufactured from durable stainless steel suitable for frequent use in industrial environments.

    Certificate of Accuracy
    Supplied with a certificate documenting instrument accuracy for inspection and quality-control procedures.

    Fast Direct Reading
    Allows wet film thickness to be checked immediately, enabling corrections before the coating cures.
