Pfund Wet Film Thickness Gauge

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

1. Press the spherical glass lens vertically into the wet coating.
2. Remove the gauge carefully to avoid smearing.
3. Measure the diameter of the circular mark left on the surface.
4. 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.
