Wet Film Thickness Gauge for Conformal Coating Applications
Wet film thickness measurement is a quick, reliable, and low-cost method of controlling conformal coating application while the coating is still wet. It helps operators ensure accurate coverage before curing or drying, reducing waste and improving process consistency.
Why Use Wet Film Thickness Gauges?
Wet film gauges are particularly valuable in situations where:
-
Coatings are difficult to measure once dry (e.g., destructive tests would otherwise be required).
-
Over-application must be avoided due to cost, weight, or performance issues.
-
Operators need real-time feedback during spraying, dipping, or brushing processes.
How Wet film Thickness Gauges for Conformal Coating Work
-
The gauge is placed directly on the wet coating surface.
-
Teeth on the gauge provide an instant reading of the wet film thickness.
-
The expected dry film thickness is calculated by multiplying the wet reading by the coating’s resin solids content (percentage).
This simple process allows production staff to keep coatings within specification without waiting for curing or using destructive methods.
