Master Your Coating Thickness

Achieving the perfect finish requires more than just a good eye. You need precise data to meet industrial standards. The Wet Film Gages Aluminum 4-Sided provides the accuracy you need during the application process. This simple tool prevents wasted material and ensures a professional result every time.

Why Choose Aluminum 4-Sided Gages?

Aluminum offers the perfect balance of durability and value. Unlike plastic alternatives, these gages resist solvents and maintain sharp edges over time. The four-sided design gives you multiple measurement ranges on a single tool.

  • Lightweight Portability: Carry it in your pocket for quick checks on the job site.

  • High Visibility: Deeply etched markings ensure you can read depths clearly, even in low light.

  • Solvent Resistant: Clean the gage easily with thinners without damaging the scale.

  • Instant Results: Get immediate feedback on your wet film thickness (WFT) before the coating cures.

How to Use Your Gage

Using the tool is straightforward. Simply place the gage perpendicularly into the wet coating. Ensure the outer legs touch the substrate firmly. Remove the gage and identify the highest notched step that shows paint. This value represents your current wet film thickness.

Essential for Professionals

Contractors and quality inspectors rely on these gages for consistent performance. They work perfectly on pipes, tanks, and flat surfaces. By monitoring thickness in real-time, you avoid sagging, cracking, and uneven drying.

Precision at Every Angle

Quality control starts the moment your brush or spray gun touches the surface. If you want perfect results, you need the Wet Film Gages Aluminum 6-Sided. This tool offers more measurement points than standard square versions. It gives you the flexibility to monitor various coating thicknesses with a single, compact instrument.

The Advantage of Six Sides

Why settle for four sides when you can have six? The hexagonal design provides a wider range of notched increments. This variety allows for tighter tolerances on specialized industrial projects.

  • Premium Aluminum Build: The high-grade aluminum resists rust and stands up to daily wear.

  • Wider Range: Six sides mean more "teeth" to measure everything from thin primers to thick fireproofing.

  • Easy Maintenance: You can soak these gages in cleaning solvents. The markings stay crisp and legible for years.

  • Error Reduction: The stable shape prevents rocking, which ensures a true perpendicular reading every time.

How to Get the Best Reading

Place the Wet Film Gages Aluminum 6-Sided into the fresh coating at a 90-degree angle. Press down until you feel the substrate. Lift the gage straight up without sliding it. Check the teeth to see which ones have paint on them. Your thickness lies between the last coated tooth and the first dry one.

Reliable Results for Every Project

Consistency builds a strong reputation. Professionals in the automotive, marine, and aerospace industries trust these gages for daily inspections. They are lightweight enough for your pocket but tough enough for the factory floor.

Invest in accuracy today. Your projects deserve the precision that only a 6-sided aluminum tool can provide.

Precision Coating Thickness Gages for Non-Metal Surfaces

Measuring paint on metal is standard, but how do you measure coatings on wood or concrete? Traditional mechanical tests often damage the surface. Fortunately, modern Coating Thickness Gages for Concrete, wood, and plastic solve this problem. These ultrasonic tools provide accurate readings without leaving a scratch. They serve as the gold standard for inspectors in the construction and composite industries.

How Ultrasonic Technology Works

Unlike magnetic gages, these devices use sound waves to determine thickness. The probe sends a high-frequency pulse into the coating. This pulse travels through the layer and reflects off the substrate. The gage then calculates the time taken to determine the exact thickness. This technology works perfectly on glass, composites, and even polyurea. It allows you to verify quality control standards instantly on the job site.

Key Features of the PosiTector 200

The PosiTector 200 series leads the market in non-destructive testing. It offers several advantages for professional inspectors:

Coating Thickness Gages for Concrete, Wood, Plastic, Glass, Composites and more.. DF200 Features: * Ready to measure—no adjustment required for most applications. * NEW Larger 2.8” impact resistant color touchscreen with redesigned keypad for quick menu navigation * NEW On-gage help explains menu items at the touch of a button. * RESET feature instantly restores factory settings Durable * NEW Weatherproof, dustproof, and water-resistant—IP65-rated enclosure * NEW Ergonomic design with durable rubberized grip * Shock-absorbing protective rubber holster for added impact resistance. * Two-year warranty on gage body AND probe Accurate * Responsive transducers provide fast, accurate readings * Certificate of Calibration showing traceability to NIST or PTB included. * Proven non-destructive technique conforms to ASTM D6132 and ISO 2808

Advanced Multi-Layer Measurement

Some advanced models can even measure individual layers in a multi-coat system. This is vital when you need to know the thickness of the primer versus the topcoat. The clear, sunlight-readable display shows all your data at a glance. You can store thousands of readings and generate professional PDF reports directly from the device.

Improve Your Inspection Standards

Stop using destructive methods that require expensive repairs. Choose a reliable coating thickness gage to protect your materials and your reputation. These tools ensure every project meets the specified thickness requirements perfectly. Accuracy on non-metal surfaces has never been easier to achieve.
