Film thickness measurement is crucial in the application and evaluation of paints and coatings, where the thickness of a film significantly affects its appearance, protective attributes, and longevity. Insufficient film thickness can lead to inadequate protection and poor coverage, while excessively thick films may increase costs without proportionate benefits, potentially impairing drying times and overall performance. Consequently, strict adherence to specified minimum thicknesses is essential for product quality and longevity.
Mechanical wet film thickness gauges, like the Model 433, offer a practical solution for early detection of non-compliance, allowing immediate corrective action. These tools are invaluable for ensuring uniform coating applications across diverse substrates including glass, wood, metal, and plastic. The Model 433 stands out for its portability, durability, and ease of use, making it suitable even for unskilled personnel.
This gauge’s comprehensive range, spanning 5 to 1500 μm, provides exceptional value, ensuring precise measurements across various applications. Each unit is accompanied by a synthetic leather case, underscoring the brand’s commitment to quality and user convenience.
Offered with an optional manufacturer’s test certificate M to DIN 55 350 T 18, the Model 433 meets stringent quality assurance requirements, further eliminating the need for incoming goods testing by the user.
