Viscosity Nomogramme 458

For rapid conversion between different viscosity units (ASTM seconds, DIN seconds, cSt, Engler degrees, Krebs-Stormer units, Gardner-Holdt units) at defined temperatures (ICI Scale for the viscosity/temperature relationship).

Levelling and Sag Tester 419

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.

Zahn Flow Cup 343

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.


 

Dip Flow Cups 321 and 322

Well-known, handy instrument for quick and convenient establishment of viscosity, directly from the container, by simply dipping in and measuring run out time. Internal dimensions in accordance with DIN 53 211 (Model 321) and ISO 2431 (Model 322), respectively.

Visco Test Blade 301

A simple reliable instrument for checking the required brushing or spraying consistency of coating materials. Invaluable for users of paint. Serves also as stirrer for thinning down small quantities.

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 and Paint Testing Machine Model 242-BASIC

For testing elasticity and adhesive quality of lacquers and other protective coatings on metallic supports.  Fully automatic cupping and deep-draw testing machine for testing the ductility of coated ferrous and non-ferrous metals (such as coil coatings, painted, plastic-coated or galvanized materials). This testing machine is electro-hydraulically driven and has a maximum pulling force of 200 kN. This testing machine is equipped with digital displays for reading the drawing and blank holding force, as well as the drawing stamp travel. During the production of thermo-formed products, the materials are deformed along all three coordinate planes. In order to avoid any subsequent corrosion damage, the surface coating must not be damaged. The 242-Basic Model is well suited for using with sheet metal thickness ranging from 0.2 mm to 4.0 mm, for the standard inspections and verifications required for quality assurance.   Paint testing machine, Erichsen cupping and deep-draw test, up to 200 kN tensile force, test standards DIN EN ISO 1520, DIN EN 13523-6

Lacquer and Paint Testing Machine Model 212

Paint testing machine, Erichsen cupping and deep-draw test, up to 120 kN tensile force.  For testing lacquers and paints of all kinds for elasticity and adhesive quality using the Erichsen Cupping Test in conformity with DIN ISO 1520, ISO 1520, BS 3900:Part E4, NF T 30-019 and SIS 18 41 77 and deep drawing cup test in acc. To ASTM E 643-84, DIN EN 1669, ISO 11531 and ISO 1520. DIN EN ISO 1520, DIN EN 13523-6

Fully automatic cupping and deep-draw testing machine for testing the ductility of coated ferrous and non-ferrous metals (such as coil coatings, painted, plastic-coated or galvanized materials). The testing machine is electro-hydraulically driven, has a maximum pulling force of 100 kN, and features digital displays for the pulling force, the blank (sheet) holding force and the drawing stamp path. During the production of thermo-formed products, the materials are deformed along all three coordinate planes. In order to avoid any subsequent corrosion damage, the surface coating must not be damaged. For the standard checks and verifications required for quality control, the Model 212 is well suited for cupping and deep-draw tests in the sheet thickness range of 0.1 mm to 3.0 mm.
