Wet layer measuring comb

Precision gauge for quick checking of wet layer thickness

The wet layer sizing comb is a compact and durable tool that allows you to. quickly and accurately measure the wet thickness of paint, varnish and gel coatings immediately after application. The hexagonal or octagonal shape ensures measurement over several ranges at the same time - without the need for additional equipment.

Durable stainless steel - long lasting durability

The measuring comb is made of made of heavy high quality stainless steel, which can withstand acidic and alkaline substances without damage. Thanks to the comb-hammer structure, the meter gives an accurate reading on each side immediately after application - before drying.

Easy to use - handy for any business trip

Small size and ergonomic profile make the measuring comb comfortable to hold and use even in confined spaces or outdoors. The gauge must be firmly in contact with the substrate and the meter must be positioned at 90° to the layer - this ensures accurate and repeatable results.

Wet layer measuring comb - principle of use

The wet coat measuring comb is used immediately after the paint coat has been applied, before the coating has time to dry. The comb is placed at a 90° angle on the freshly painted surface and the last tooth covered with paint is counted. This gives an immediate and reliable wet thickness reading.

Technical advantages

  • The meter must be positioned relative to the layer 90° downwards
  • The gabarite must be firmly in contact with the ground
  • Convenient due to small size to hold and use
  • Stainless steel is resistant to acidic and alkaline substances
  • Different measuring range on each side - no need to change tools

Suitable for use in

  • Industrial painting process and quality control
  • Thickness measurement of varnish, gel and epoxy paints
  • Construction and metal industry
  • Car paint shops

Frequently asked questions

What is a wet layer measuring comb and what is it used for?

A wet film thickness gauge is a precision tool that measures the thickness of a newly applied coat of paint, varnish or gel before it dries. It helps to ensure that the coating meets the required wet thickness needed to achieve the final dry film thickness.

How to use a wet layer measuring comb?

Place the comb on the freshly painted surface at a 90° angle so that the gauge is in firm contact with the surface. Read the last tooth that is coated with paint - this number indicates the wet thickness of the micrometers. Measure immediately after application, before drying.

What material is the wet layer measuring comb made of?

The measuring comb is made of heavy high quality stainless steel. This material is resistant to acid and alkaline substances and ensures a long service life even under intensive use.

What are the ranges?

The hexagonal model has a different measuring range on each side, so different thicknesses can be measured with one tool. The exact range depends on the model - ask for a quotation according to your needs.

Can a wet-layer measuring comb be used with all types of paint?

Yes. The wet layer measuring comb is suitable for all liquid coatings - paints, varnishes, gels, epoxies, etc. It is important to measure immediately after application, before the coating starts to dry.
