Maintenance and Care
The Interchemical Wet Film Thickness Gage is
a high precision instrument made to very close
tolerance. Any amount of wear or damage may
introduce errors in measurement.
Keep the gage clean, normally using a soft, lint
free cloth moistened with an appropriate solvent.
Clean immediately after use. Remove hardened
material only after soaking in solvent until it can
be removed by rubbing with a soft cloth.
DO NOT SCRAPE
Check the gage periodically against a company
„master“ having the same range. If a „master“ is
not available, a feeler gage or shim stock may be
used for periodic inspection. Place the gage on
a polished plate glass plate or other smooth, fl at
surface. Insert the shim between the outer wheels
and under the central wheel. Turn the gage from
maximum to minimum clearance until a binding
action is detected when the shim is moved under
the gage. If the scale reading at this point does not
agree with the known thickness of the shim, the
gage may require replacement.
