Coating film thickness measuring instruments, also known as paint thickness gauges, are used to measure the thickness of coatings on various surfaces. This is important for a variety of reasons, such as ensuring that the correct amount of coating has been applied, detecting corrosion, and determining the condition of a surface.
There are two main types of coating thickness measuring gauges, probes, and instruments: magnetic and ultrasonic. Magnetic gauges are used for ferrous metals, while ultrasonic gauges are used for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Magnetic gauges work by measuring the magnetic field that is created by the metal substrate. The thickness of the coating is then calculated based on the strength of the magnetic field.
Ultrasonic gauges work by emitting ultrasonic waves and measuring the time it takes for the waves to travel through the coating and the substrate. The thickness of the coating is then calculated based on the speed of the ultrasonic waves.
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a coating thickness measuring instrument, such as the type of material you are measuring, the thickness of the coating you want to measure, and your budget.

Wet Film Thickness
Wet film thickness is the thickness of a liquid coating after it has been applied to a surface. It is important to measure wet film thickness to ensure that the correct amount of coating has been applied. Too much coating can lead to problems such as runs and sags, while too little coating can lead to poor adhesion and corrosion.
There are a number of ways to measure wet film thickness, including:
Dipsticks: Dipsticks are simple and inexpensive, but they are not very accurate.
Tape measures: Tape measures are more accurate than dipsticks, but they can be difficult to use on curved surfaces.
Gauges: Gauges are the most accurate way to measure wet film thickness, but they can be expensive.
Dry Film Thickness
Dry film thickness is the thickness of a liquid coating after it has dried. It is important to measure dry film thickness to ensure that the correct amount of coating has been applied and that the coating is adhering properly. Too much coating can lead to problems such as runs and sags, while too little coating can lead to poor adhesion and corrosion.
There are a number of ways to measure dry film thickness, including:
Magnetic gauges: Magnetic gauges are used for ferrous metals.
Ultrasonic gauges: Ultrasonic gauges are used for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Thickness probes: Thickness probes are used for non-magnetic materials.
