ASTM International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is a globally recognized leader in the development and delivery of international voluntary consensus standards. Today, some 12,000 ASTM standards are used around the world to improve product quality, enhance safety, facilitate market access and trade, and build consumer confidence.
A hardened and ground double wheel with an eccentric cam in the middle is rolled over a newly applied film. The wetting line on the middle cam is read off on a scale as wet film thickness. Total measuring range: 1500 microns, available in 8 different sub-ranges.
24 test card versions available, in different sizes, patterns and colourings, including special penetration cards for watery systems. Test charts to determine the hiding power and contrast ratio of pigmented systems in organic solvents.
A robust instrument for gauging the degree of fineness-of-grind of liquid dispersions of pigments in the range 0 -15/25/50/100 microns. The substance is filled into the wedge-shaped grooves and drawn down with a blade. Rippling occurs at the point where pigments particles are bigger than the depth of the groove measured in microns.
To measure the density of coating materials and similar liquids. Robust and light weight design, made of black anodized aluminium or stainless steel. Available for 50 or 100 ml capacity. Can also be provided with certification from the official Bureau of Weights & Measures (EICHAMT) .
Software for rapid conversion between viscosity and efflux time, for use with standardized flow cups. Converts between dynamic and kinematic viscosity. Clearly arranged graphics, easy to use.
Parallel strips of wet film are applied to a substrate using a special paint applicator frame made of stainless steel and featuring slots of various heights. The sag tendency is determined in a vertical flow test, the levelling tendency is ascertained when the specimen is horizontal. The specimen panel is examined visually after the coating has hardened.
Rapid determination of the viscosity of any type of fluid, as for instance paint, varnish, wet enamel, photogravure ink, dye and lacquer for leather, oil, fat, foodstuff etc. Particularly suitable in the workshop. Simple Dip Flow Cup, available in five sizes as a set or individually.
Flow Time Measuring Instrument CUPTIMER 243 USB with USB interface for data storing. Opto-electronic Measuring Instrument for exact Determination of the Flow Time by using Standardized Flow Cups, for Viscosity Measurements. Adaptable for use with DIN, ASTM and ISO flow cups (also suitable for AFNOR cups).
A series of viscosity measuring cups made of aluminum or phenol resin, available in various sizes and conforming to international standards. Optional accessories: Adjustable tripod and thermostatically controlled jacket to ensure reproducible results; thermometer and digital stop watch with calibration certificate.
