Wet Film Thickness Gauge
Model: AME-1060The Wet Film Thickness Gauge provided by AME Technology is a high-precision inspection tool designed for accurate measurement of wet coating thickness immediately after application. Also known as a wet film comb gauge, this instrument is widely used in paint, coating, ink, varnish, and surface finishing industries to ensure correct film application before curing or drying.
Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, the gauge offers excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and dimensional stability, making it suitable for repeated use in demanding industrial and field environments. The hexagonal design integrates multiple measurement steps on a single tool, allowing users to measure a wide range of wet film thicknesses—from 25 µm up to higher micron ranges such as 3000 µm, depending on the comb scale.
The gauge operates on a simple and reliable principle: when placed onto a freshly coated surface, the highest tooth that contacts the wet film and the next tooth that remains dry indicate the coating thickness range. With an accuracy of 0.1%, this gauge provides dependable and repeatable results, helping applicators avoid under-coating or over-coating.
By enabling real-time thickness verification, the Wet Film Thickness Gauge from AME Technology helps improve coating uniformity, reduce material waste, and ensure compliance with coating specifications and quality standards. Compact, lightweight, and maintenance-free, it is an essential tool for coating inspectors, quality engineers, and applicators seeking consistent and professional coating results.
Accurate wet film thickness measurement is a critical step in achieving the desired dry film thickness and long-term coating performance. The AME Technology Wet Film Thickness Gauge provides a fast, simple, and reliable method for checking coating thickness during application, allowing immediate corrective action if required.
Designed in a hexagonal shape, the gauge incorporates multiple measurement ranges on a single stainless steel body, making it versatile and easy to use across various coating applications. Precision-machined teeth ensure consistent contact with the coating surface, delivering reliable thickness readings. The stainless steel construction ensures resistance to solvents, paints, and harsh chemicals commonly used in coating environments.
This gauge is widely used in automotive coatings, marine and offshore coatings, industrial painting, protective coatings, printing inks, and powder coating preparation. By verifying wet film thickness at the application stage, users can prevent defects such as insufficient coverage, sagging, cracking, blistering, or premature coating failure.
Simple to operate and requiring no calibration or power source, the Wet Film Thickness Gauge is ideal for on-site inspections as well as laboratory quality control. It supports coating professionals in maintaining consistency, improving productivity, and meeting project-specific and international coating standards.
The Wet Film Thickness Gauge from AME Technology is engineered to deliver high accuracy and long-term reliability for wet coating thickness measurement. The gauge typically covers a minimum measuring range of 25 µm, with extended ranges available on hexagonal comb designs reaching up to 3000 µm, making it suitable for both thin and heavy coating applications.
Manufactured from precision stainless steel, the gauge offers excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure, ensuring stable performance over extended service life. The hexagonal configuration allows multiple measurement scales on a single tool, reducing the need for multiple gauges and improving inspection efficiency.
With an accuracy of 0.1%, the gauge provides confidence in coating quality control and process validation. The tool requires no batteries, electronics, or calibration, making it highly reliable and maintenance-free. After use, it can be easily cleaned with standard solvents without affecting measurement accuracy.
The Wet Film Thickness Gauge is suitable for use alongside commonly accepted international coating inspection practices and standards such as ASTM and ISO guidelines.
