Monitoring climatic conditions, such as temperature, relative humidity, dew point and humidity, is often essential for successful coating application and is critical to the quality and performance of the coated product.
Climatic: Elcometer offers a full range of dew point and relative humidity meters, thermometers, data loggers, humidity gauges and anemometers for monitoring climatic conditions.
In the protective coatings industry, moisture can form on the surface if the surface temperature is low enough to cause atmospheric condensation. The dew point temperature (Td) is the point at which this occurs.
The monitoring of the surface temperature (Ts) and the air temperature (Ta) and its relative humidity (%RH) allows the calculation of the dew point temperature and its comparison with the surface temperature. This temperature difference (TΔ) is the key parameter that determines when it is safe to apply the coating.
The Elcometer 309 Delta T hygrometer provides a simple and quick way to measure two critical climatic parameters in coatings: Delta T (TΔ): the difference between the surface temperature (Ts) and the dew point temperature (Td). If TΔ is less than 3ºC , no staining should take place. Relative humidity (RH): Expressed as a percentage, it is a ratio expressing the actual amount of water vapour in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapour that the air could [...]
The rugged Elcometer 319 Dew Point Meter is designed to measure and record all the relevant climatic parameters needed to determine whether conditions are suitable for painting. The simple Elcometer 319 Dew Point Meter has an easy to use menu based interface in multiple languages. A clear, illuminated display showing up to five user-defined parameters Arrow indicators show temperature trends A hold/freeze function allows the user to select a temperature trend before storing [...]
