Mechanical Wet Film Thickness Gauge – Model 333 - ERICHSEN

Film thickness measurement is a critical component in the application and evaluation of paints and coatings. The thickness of a film greatly influences its appearance, protective abilities, and overall durability. Measurements that fall below the required thickness can lead to insufficient protection and diminished efficacy, whereas excessively thick applications can unnecessarily elevate costs without proportionate benefits, even negatively impacting drying times.

Given the direct link between the physical and mechanical properties of a coating and its thickness, uniform application becomes a prerequisite for reliable testing. The Mechanical Wet Film Thickness Gauge Model 333 by Erichsen addresses these needs effectively. This gauge allows for immediate quality assurance of freshly applied coatings by enabling swift corrective measures if deviations from the targeted thickness are found.

With its portable, robust design and ease of use, the gauge is suitable for a wide range of surfaces, including glass, wood, metal, or plastic. Due to its mechanical operation, this tool offers a straightforward, direct reading method without the need for specialized training, making it an economical choice for ensuring compliance with painting and coating application standards.

Applicable on both flat and slightly curved surfaces, our wet film thickness gauge operates on a simple principle. It uses a comb-shaped mechanism with teeth that penetrate the wet film to various depths, providing an average measurement of thickness based on precise, engraved scales. Available in multiple ranges and supplied with a synthetic leather pocket, the Model 333 stands as an indispensable tool for professionals seeking to optimize coating applications.
