Wet Film Coating Thickness measurement is an early method of determining whether the Dry Film Coating Thickness will be correct. It is important that a coating is applied to the correct thickness. Applying too much wet coating will not only waste time and money, but there is also a possibility of the coating cracking during the curing process. Too little coating and there is a chance that the substrate will not be sufficiently covered.
The Elcometer 112AL Punched Hexagonal Wet Film Combs are Aluminium precision formed wet film combs. They offer the user a low cost method of measuring the wet film thickness. Reusable and supplied in a range of thicknesses measuring up to 3000µm.
The Elcometer Hexagonal Wet Film Combs are designed for wet film thickness measurements and come in a range of thickness scales. The Elcometer 112 & 3236 Hexagonal Wet Film Combs are hexagonal precisions formed stainless steel wet film combs that are long lasting, reusable and…
The Elcometer 154 Wet Film Combs are made from ABS plastic and are designed to be used once, and kept as a record of wet film thickness measurement for quality assurance or customer requirements. Metric and Imperial values are on the same comb, 50 to 800µm on one side, 2 to…
The Elcometer 3230 Wet Film Wheel is a high precision, accurate and easy to use instrument which consists of a set of three wheels. The central wheel is of a smaller diameter and is eccentric relative to the two outer wheels.
The Elcometer 3238 Long Edge Wet Film Combs, these stainless-steel combs are wire eroded to provide an accuracy ±5% of marked value or ±3μm, whichever is greater, and are supplied with either Metric or Imperial measurements. Each wet film comb has 24 measurement stages (teeth)…
The Elcometer 115 Stainless Steel Wet Film Combs are made to be long lasting and are supplied with either Metric or Imperial film thickness measurements. Four separate wet film thickness ranges are available up to a maximum of 1250µm and are manufactured to an accuracy of 5% or…
This instrument is similar to the Elcometer 3230 Wet Film Wheel, but is designed for use in the coil coating process. The outer wheels are knurled to allow measurements to be taken on slippery coatings or on fast moving substrates.
The Elcometer 3233 Pfund Thickness Gauge is used to measure film thickness of wet translucent products such as varnishes, paints and oils.
Frequently asked questions
How do you use a wet film comb?
Place a comb perpendicular to and touching the substrate. Hold the comb in position and wait a few seconds until the teeth are wet. Remove the comb from the film. The wet film thickness lies between the biggest value 'coated' or 'wet' tooth and the smallest value 'uncoated' or 'dry' tooth.
What is the purpose of measuring wet film thickness?
Measuring wet film thickness helps determine the eventual dry film thickness and ensures the coating is applied to the correct thickness, preventing waste and potential issues during curing.
