These gauges accurately measure the wet film thickness of inks, coatings, gels, adhesives, paints, and almost any other wet film applied to flat or cylindrical surfaces. They are fabricated from stainless steel for long life and easy cleaning, and can make measurements on moving surfaces.
For any coating, thickness of application is of paramount importance: Too thin a film will exhibit poor hiding power and inadequate protective properties. Overly thick coatings inflate cost and often result in a loss in intended physical properties. These gages help ensure optimum coating performance at minimal cost. All models have an accuracy of +/- 0.0001" (2.5 μm) or 2.5% of full scale, whichever is greater. The Type S models are intended for general use. Type R, with a rotating scale, and Type L, with low inertia and a rotating scale, are also available by special order. Clean with appropriate solvent immediately after use.
