Surface Preparation & Coating

The Elcometer 270 range utilises the wet
sponge technique and has been
designed to set a new standard for wet
sponge detectors - namely, a high
quality, low voltage detector with similar
accessories to a high voltage spark
tester.

9V, 67.5V & 90V

The 107 Cross Hatch Cutter provides an instant assessment of the quality of the bond to the substrate. Due to its rugged construction this gauge is ideal for thin, thick or tough coatings on flat or curved surfaces. An ideal field or laboratory test.

Low cost
Robust design
Easy to change cutters
Large Non slip grip
Ideal for thick or hard coatings
Large selection of cutters, each with four cutting faces

The Basic Kit comes complete with:
Robust handle, the cutter of your choice, Allen Key (wrench), presentation storage case and instructions (together with the Classification of Adhesion Test Results Chart)

This provides accurate values of Relative Humidity (RH) and Dewpoint from the wet and dry bulb temperatures of a Whirling or Sling Hygrometer.

The range is -10ºC to 50ºC (14ºF to 122ºF) and it has an accuracy of ±1% of standard tables.

The calculator includes a ºC to ºF converter.

These reusable precision stainless steel combs are made to be long lasting.

Metric comb with 10 thickness measurement steps (teeth) of
20, 35, 50, 75, 100, 125, 175, 225, 275, 225, 275, 325µm, manufactured to an accuracy of 5% or 2.5µm (0.01mil), whichever is the greater.

Using the Wet Film Comb
Place a comb perpendicular to and touching the substrate. Hold the comb in position and wait a few seconds until the teeth are wet. Remove the comb from the film.

The wet film thickness lies between the biggest value 'coated' or 'wet' tooth and the smallest value 'uncoated' or 'dry' tooth.

Set of all 4 sizes of Wet Film Comb

The Wet film Wheel consists of three circles. The central circle is of smaller diameter and is eccentric to the two outer circles. By rolling the gauge through a wet coating, the centre disc eventually touches the film. This point on the scale indicates the thickness.

If the volume to solids ratio of the coating is known, then the wet film thickness can be used to predict the dry film thickness.

This wheel has a range from 0 to 50µm with scale divisions of 2.5µm

* Continuous Scale results in ±5% measurement accuracy.
* Suitable for flat and curved surfaces.
* Stainless steel giving a hard-wearing instrument which can be cleaned with solvents for reuse.
