TQC Wet Film Thickness Wheel VF2256

The product pictured is a TQC Wet Film Thickness Wheel (Model VF2256), a precision instrument designed for measuring the thickness of wet lacquers, paints, and other coatings. Specifically, the VF2256 model is a 'Type NS300' variety, capable of measuring thicknesses in the range of 0–300µm. These wheels are essential tools in quality control environments, such as laboratory and industrial paint production, ensuring that coatings are applied according to strict technical specifications.

The brand TQC (now TQC Sheen) was founded in 1977 in the Netherlands, where it established a strong reputation for developing innovative and ergonomic paint test equipment. The company's main production, research and development, and logistics remain centered in Capelle aan den IJssel, near Rotterdam.

In late 2017, TQC underwent a significant transition when it was acquired by Industrial Physics, a leading global provider of test and measurement equipment. Shortly after, the brand merged with the UK-based Sheen Instruments to form the 'TQC Sheen' label. Today, TQC Sheen operates as a subsidiary within the Industrial Physics group, serving a wide array of global industries including automotive, aerospace, marine, and construction.
