A number of measuring devices are used to assess the performance and quality of various industrial painting procedures, allowing the operator or quality inspector to obtain feedback on the work or the condition of the equipment operations.
Today we represent the Elcometer and Coatmaster portfolio of measuring instruments and the most common instruments we offer are:
Weather simulating cabinets, proving the quality of the finishing of the products
Measurement and control of climatic parameters such as relative humidity, air temperature, dew point are of paramount importance, directly influencing the achievement of quality in different procedures.
The correct paint or coating thickness is an important parameter for surface treatment. The strength and durability of the paint surface is based on the correct application of this system, following the specification sheet of the paint manufacturer. Each layer, from the primer to the topcoat and the individual intermediate layers, is precisely defined with minimum and maximum coating thicknesses.
The right gloss level has a big impact on both the product and its colour. The quality of a painted surface is often assessed by measuring gloss and tone.
The adhesion strength of paint and coatings is crucial to enable the material to perform its basic functions of protection and decoration. Coating strength testing in the paints and coatings industry is necessary to ensure the quality and durability of products.
To achieve a good finish, it is important to ensure that the correct viscosity of the materials is specified by the manufacturer. There are a number of simpler as well as more sophisticated instruments available for measuring viscosity.
When using protective coatings, it is necessary to measure the surface hardness.
The Surface Roughness Tester is a lightweight and portable measurement solution for a wide range of surface roughness measurements required to meet international standards.
It's not just the measurements you take that matter, but what you do with the data you collect.
Since inspectors can spend up to 30% of their working week on reports, ElcoMaster saves time and money by producing professional custom reports in seconds - even on the spot.
