Pfund Thickness Gauge

Available in aluminium or stainless steel this instrument 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.
Ideal for measuring the thickness of wet translucent products such as varnishes, oils etc.
Measurement range of 2.25 - 360μm (0.09 - 14.17mils)

Wet Film & Powder Thickness

Elcometer Limited

When applying a liquid coating, by measuring the uncured film thickness, it is possible to determine the eventual dry film thickness. Applying too much coating wastes time and materials. It can also affect the performance and finish of the product. Too much wet film can cause the coating to crack as it cures; too little coating increases the risk that the substrate will not be sufficiently protected, leading to rust spots.

Uncured Powder Film Comb

This enables the application system to be set up and fine tuned prior to the curing process. In turn, this will reduce the amount of scrap and over-spray.Place the comb into the powder and slide the comb along the surface. The measurement points (or teeth) are pointed and allow the powder to flow around them.
