One instrument only for 4 measuring ranges: 5 – 100 microns, 100 – 500 microns, 300 – 700 microns, 700 – 1500 microns. This comb-shaped instrument, made of stainless steel, stands out for high accuracy.
Wet Film Thickness Gauge 433
ISO
ISO International Standards ensure that products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality. For business, they are strategic tools that reduce costs by minimizing waste and errors, and increasing productivity. They help companies to access new markets, level the playing field for developing countries and facilitate free and fair global trade.
Wet Film Thickness Gauge 333
Inexpensive simply operating instrument. The stainless steel “comb” with tooth lengths varying by equal amounts is applied perpendicular to the wet film and the film thickness can be read off on the last tooth that made contact with the wet coating. 3 versions with measuring ranges 120/600/1200 microns. Also available is the Model 333-S: Large version acc. to BASF for road marking paint
Wet Film Thickness Gauge 234
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.
Through-Dry Tester 416
For testing the degree of through drying of a coating. A test plunger faced with nylon fabric and loaded with a defined weight is lowered onto the test surface for a period of 10 s, and then turned through 90º. The resulting effect on the coating is evaluated after lifting the test plunger
Test Cards 451
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.
Hegman Grindometer 232
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.
Pycnometer 290
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) .
Mobile Measuring Station, Cuptimer 243-USB
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).
Flow Cup Model 243
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.
Lacquer & Paint Test Machine 202-EM
Paint testing machine, Erichsen cupping, up to 45 kN tensile force.
Lacquer and Paint Testing Machine, Model 202 EM, with electromotive drive, equipped with a laterally opened test head, test tool in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1520, electric installation for connecting the illumination of the microscope as well as a digital display for the acquisition of the ERICHSEN cupping value, with integrated preselection counter for setting the maximum cupping value required. The machine is operated via touch panel.
Application: This simple to operate Lacquer and Paint Testing Machine is used for rapid and accurate measurement of the elongation and adhesion properties of protective paints and other coatings of all types using the Erichsen Cupping Test in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1520, BS 3900 : Part E4, NF T 30-019, SIS 18 41 77 on sheet metal specimens up to 1.5 mm thick.
The ERICHSEN Cupping Test provides valuable information on the suitability of a coating material for application in practice. Low cupping test values mean that the coated product may not withstand elongation stresses arising, resulting in corrosion of the substrate. Model 202 EM is versatile and can be further enhanced by the various accessories available. The machine is a valuable tool for the quality control both for producers of paints and coating materials and for users.
