The wet film thickness gauge is a compact and durable tool that enables quick and accurate measurement of the wet thickness of paint, lacquer and gel immediately after application. The hexagonal or octagonal shape ensures measurement across multiple ranges at once — without the need for additional equipment.

Operating principle

The wet film thickness gauge is used immediately after applying the paint coat, before the coating has had time to dry. The gauge is placed at a 90° angle onto the freshly painted surface, and the last tooth covered with paint is read. This provides an immediate and reliable wet thickness value.

Durable stainless steel

The measuring gauge is made of heavy, high-quality stainless steel that withstands acidic and alkaline substances without damage. Thanks to the comb-tooth structure, the gauge provides an accurate reading on each side immediately after the coat is applied — before drying. The small size and ergonomic profile make the gauge comfortable to hold and use, even in tight spaces or outdoor conditions.

Technical advantages

  • The gauge must be placed at a 90° angle to the coating
  • The gauge must be in firm contact with the substrate
  • Comfortable to hold and use thanks to its small size
  • Stainless steel withstands acidic and alkaline substances
  • A different measuring range on each side — no need to change tools

Suitable for use in

Common questions about this product.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wet film comb suitable for measuring epoxy paints and gels?
Yes, the wet film thickness comb is suitable for all liquid coatings – paints, varnishes, gels and epoxies. It is important to take the measurement immediately after application, before the coating begins to dry.
What are the exact measurement ranges?
The hexagonal model has a different measuring range on each side, so a single tool can be used to measure various thicknesses. The exact range depends on the model – please request a quote according to your needs.
Does the tool withstand aggressive chemicals?
Yes, the measuring comb is made of heavy high-quality stainless steel that withstands acidic and alkaline substances without damage. This ensures a long service life even under intensive use.
How to ensure accurate and repeatable measurement results?
The gauge must be positioned at a 90° angle to the coating layer, and the profile must be in firm contact with the substrate. The last tooth covered with paint is read, and the measurement must be taken immediately after application before drying.
Is this suitable for use in outdoor conditions and confined spaces?
Yes, the compact size and ergonomic profile make the measuring gauge comfortable to hold and use even in tight spaces or outdoor conditions.
What is a wet film thickness gauge and what is it used for?
The wet film comb is a precision tool that measures the thickness of a freshly applied layer of paint, lacquer or gel before drying. It helps ensure that the coating meets the required wet film thickness needed to achieve the final dry film thickness.
