It typically consists of a metal or plastic body with a series of notched or stepped teeth, each marked with a specific thickness measurement (usually in microns or mils).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"783\" class=\"\"\u003eThe tool is pressed firmly into the wet coating until it contacts the substrate.

The teeth that do not touch the coating show where the material is too thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"832\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"794\" data-end=\"832\"\u003eUses of a Wet Film Thickness Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"1598\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"970\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"837\" data-end=\"970\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"837\" data-end=\"857\"\u003eQuality Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"857\" data-end=\"860\"\u003eEnsures the applied coating meets the manufacturer's recommended film build for performance and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"972\" data-end=\"1111\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"1111\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"1001\"\u003eCoverage Verification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1004\"\u003eHelps calculate if the correct amount of material has been applied, based on theoretical coverage rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1279\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1279\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1152\"\u003eAvoiding Over\/Under Application:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1155\"\u003ePrevents issues like excessive drying time, cracking, or poor adhesion caused by applying too much or too little product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1281\" data-end=\"1460\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1460\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1306\"\u003eCompliance Checks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1306\" data-end=\"1309\"\u003eVerifies that coating work meets industry standards or project specifications, especially in waterproofing, painting, or protective coating systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1598\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1598\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1485\"\u003eTroubleshooting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1485\" data-end=\"1488\"\u003eAids in diagnosing coating failures by confirming if the film thickness was appropriate during application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"783\" class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SURTEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43425554792522,"sku":"12636","price":15.61,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/2639\/1882\/files\/IMG_8970.jpg?v=1773954368","url":"https:\/\/surtec.co.nz\/products\/surtec-wet-film-thickness-gauge","provider":"Surtec","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
