Title
Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Wet Film Thickness of Organic Coatings

ASTM International

Publication Date:
May 15, 1991

Scope:

These test methods cover the determination of wet film thickness of organic coatings such as paint, varnish, and lacquer. Two methods are described as follows:

In Test Method A, the Wet Film Thickness Gage (English or Metric graduation (see 5.1)) is used to measure wet film thicknesses up to 60 mils on the English scale series, and up to 700 µm on the metric scale series (Sections 5-8).

In Test Method B, the Pfund Gage is used to measure wet film thicknesses up to 14.2 mils (360 µm) (Sections 9-13).

The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
