Pfund Wet Film Thickness Gauge
The Pfund Thickness Gauge is a mechanical tool designed to measure the thickness of wet coatings before they dry, especially translucent materials such as varnishes and oils.
It’s based on a simple mechanical design (no electronics required) and is suitable for lab and on-site use in situations where wet film thickness must be verified immediately.

Benefits
- Fast, non-destructive way to verify coating thickness while the film is still wet.
- Measures wet film thickness from 2.25 to 360µm.
- Especially suitable for translucent products such as varnishes, oils, and clear coatings.
- Gauge leaves only a small mark in the wet film, which disappears as the coating levels or cures.
- Prevents coating defects such as cracking and poor coverage before curing.
- Reduces material waste and rework.
- Improves coating quality and consistency.
- Allows process control during application.
- Reliable method for coatings that cannot be measured non-destructively once dry.
- Meets ASTM D 1212-D and NF T30-125 standards.
How To Use The Pfund Wet Film Thickness Gauge
- Press the spherical glass lens vertically into the wet coating.
- Remove the gauge carefully to avoid smearing.
- Measure the diameter of the circular mark left on the surface.
- Convert the diameter into thickness using the provided table.
Typical Applications
This mechanical instrument ensures fast and repeatable wet film measurements for applications such as:
- Industrial and decorative coatings.
- Laboratory testing and production environments.
- Quality control during application.
- Paints, varnishes and clear coatings.
