WFT Wet Film Thickness Gauge 25-3000 micron Hexagonal Wet Film thickness Guage by A1 Quality Instruments Mumbai.Wet film thickness (WFT) is the measurement of the thickness of an applied paint or coating before it dries. Wet Film thickness is measured using a Wet Film Thickness Gauge. Wet Film Thickness Gauges provide an inexpensive, quick and easy method to measure the thickness of coatings immediately after application. They can be used over a large wet film thickness range, from thick protective coatings to thin coil coatings. Wet film gauges can be used on virtually any substrate.Wet Film Thickness Gauges are designed to quickly and easily measure paint and coating thickness immediately after application and before curing. They are commonly known as Wet Mil Gauges, WFT Gauges, Combs, Comb Gauges, Mil Gauges, Step Gauges and Notched Gauges. They incorporate a series of notches much like the teeth on a comb. The wet film thickness of uncured applied coatings including paints, roof coatings, powder coatings, intumescent coatings, gel coats, wood coatings, etc. are easily measured with a Wet Film Thickness Gauge. Wet coating thickness measurement or wet film thickness measurement helps the applicator to ensure that the coating is applied in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. Applying too much coating can cause many problems, including excess drying time, solvent entrapment, cracking, sagging, and excess coating material costs. Applying too little thickness can result in the need to apply additional coats, premature coating failure, improper hiding, poor appearance, and a host of other problems that ultimately can lead to additional time requirements to finish the job, as well as claims against the applicator and lost profits. Wet film thickness should be measured by applicators right after the coating is applied, before significant solvent evaporation occurs to ensure correct measurements. Even slight delays in measuring could result in incorrect low readings, since solvents may have evaporated from the film before the measurements were made. Multiple readings should be made throughout the application process to ensure that the WFT is consistent on all parts of the coated surface. For this reason WFT gages are mostly used by applicators rather than inspectors
