A Wet Film Thickness (WFT) gauge is a crucial tool used to measure the thickness of coatings immediately after they are applied to a surface, while the film is still wet. Accurate measurement of wet film thickness ensures that coatings are applied in accordance with manufacturer recommendations, preventing under-application or over-application, which could lead to coating defects, wastage, or premature failure. WFT gauges are commonly used in industries such as automotive, construction, industrial coatings, and painting.
