Mechanical Wet Film Thickness Gauge – Model 234 – ERICHSEN

Optimized Efficiency in Coating Thickness Measurement

Film thickness measurement is critical in the application and evaluation of paints and coatings, directly affecting their appearance, protective capabilities, and longevity. Achieving the right thickness is paramount\\; too thin a film compromises protection and opacity, while an excessively thick layer can unnecessarily inflate costs without enhancing performance, and may even extend drying times.

For accurate, on-the-spot thickness assessments, the Mechanical Wet Film Thickness Gauge Model 234 serves as an indispensable tool. Designed for simplicity and durability, it offers direct measurements across a variety of substrates including glass, wood, metal, and plastic, ensuring immediate corrective action can be taken to maintain optimal coating applications.

Equipped with a precision-ground stainless steel measuring disc and an aluminum guide roller, this instrument promises ease of use and portability, perfectly suited for both professional and inexperienced hands alike. Available in eight different measurement ranges, each unit comes with a manufacturer’s test certificate and a protective case, making it a cost-effective solution for ensuring coating uniformity and material efficiency.
