Elcometer 3233 Pfund Thickness Gauge consists of two concentric cylinders, one sliding inside the other.
A spherical glass lens, which has engraved measurements, is fitted to the end of the central cylinder and when pressed into the wet film, leaves a circular trace. The diameter of the mark on the lens is measured and, using the supplied conversion table, the thickness of the coating can be easily assessed.
It is important that a coating is applied to the correct thickness. Applying too much wet coating will not only waste and money, but also there is also a possibility of the coating cracking during the curing process. Too little coating and there is a chance that the substrate will not be sufficiently covered. To control process variables, it is often desirable to measure whilst the film is still wet. Wet film measurements are also useful for systems where the dry film thickness can only be measured destructively.
Can be used in accordance with: ASTM D 1212-B, NF T30-125
