Description
A range of precision stainless steel Wet Film Thickness Gauges designed to quickly and easily measure the thickness of coatings immediately after they have been applied to a substrate. These gauges are also commonly known as: Combs, MIL Gauges, Step Gauges and Notched Gauges. These Gauges are also available CERTIFIED, please 'Click Here' for full information.
The Wet Film Thickness Gauges will measure the wet film thickness of most organic coatings including paints, resins, lacquers, varnishes, gel coat, etc.. The thickness of powder type coatings may also be measured before curing with these gauges.
The wet film thickness (WFT) of a coating determines the dried film thickness (DFT) of the coating on the substrate after it has cured. It is important that the correct amount of coating is applied to a substrate to ensure that the specified dried film thickness is achieved. The appropriate wet film thickness for a specified dry film thickness is easily calculated. 'Click Here' for a listing of formulas.
Applying the correct amount of coating onto most substrates is important. This can be easily verified when the coating is applied by taking measurements of the wet film thickness with these gauges. Consistency of coatings, application methods, thinners/reducers required, etc. may be corrected at the time of application which avoids costly rework. Eliminate defects caused by incorrect dry film thickness, cracking, wrinkling, blisters, etc.. For a given coating the variables of wet film thickness, dried film thickness and amount of thinner/reducer required may be easily calculated.

These gauges measure the wet film thickness from 4 mils to 40 mils (0.004" to 0.040") and are quick, easy and simple to use even in unusual and demanding locations. For full instructions with measurement examples, drawings and complete gauge specifications please 'Click Here'.
The gauges are precision manufactured from hardened grade 301 stainless steel, all markings and graphics are etched and black filled. These gauges will survive harsh use, the graphics will not rub off (even sanding the part will not remove the markings, graphics, etc.). These gauges are not designed as 'throw-away' items and should not be compared to gauges that are 'printed' or silk-screened.
The overall size of the gauges is 2.25" x 1.070" x 0.030" (57.15mm x 27.18mm x .76mm). Each gauge has eight different measurement notches; select the one you require or purchase a set of three to cover all your application needs.
Other notch - mil sizes available on request. Please contact GEI with your requirements.
These gauges meet the requirements of the following International Standards:
ISO 2808-7B, ASTM D4414-A, BS 3900-C5 Method 7B, NF T30-125.
