PowderTag powder thickness gauge

Non-contact and non-destructive powder thickness gauge before and after firing, usable with metal substrates such as steel or aluminum, but also MDF.

Spreading and dripping applicators

The spread and sag applicator is a special film applicator with dual function: one side with 10 openings from 75 to 300 microns to test the tendency to sag (due to gravity depending on film thickness), the other side with 5 pairs of notches of increasing depth made to create sets of two strips of film (the fusion of the strips can be assessed to define...

SuperPIG III destructive thickness gauge

The SuperPIG III is a precision tool for the measurement and destructive inspection of the thickness of single-layer or multi-layer coatings on all substrates. After an oblique incision of the coating, the width of the section is measured using the graduated scale microscope. A multiplying factor is applied depending on the cutting tool used.

Comb gauges for wet film

Stainless steel graduated comb gauges for quick and easy measurement of the thickness of a wet film applied to a flat surface.

Circular wet film gauges

A calibrated wheel fitted with an eccentric inner disc is rolled on the wet film until a trace appears on the inner disc. The wet thickness measurement corresponds to the position of the end of the impression.

Reference: kits P7315 -7316

Measurement kits before painting SP7315 -7316

Kits made up of a selection of inspection tools and measuring instruments to check the correct preparation of steel surfaces before painting.

Reference: SP1820 /-1830 /-1831

SP1820 / -1830 / -1831 bend testers

Determine the rate of elongation, elasticity, resistance to cracking and peeling of paints and varnishes on a metal support by winding around a cylindrical or conical mandrel.

Reference: SP1880 /-1890 /-1891 /-1895

SP1880 / -1890 / -1891 / -1895 impact testers

Determine the impact resistance and flexibility of coatings by studying the deformation caused by a falling steel mass on the coated specimen.

Buchholz SP1900 indentation device

Tests the surface hardness of paint films by measuring the indentation length of a sharp bevel wheel affixed to the surface.

Wolff-Wilborn pencil hardness device VF2377 / -78 / -79

Used to assess the hardness and resistance of a coating to surface scratches by moving pencils of different hardness on its surface under a constant force at an angle of 45 °.

Sclerometers SP0010 / SP0015

Pocket devices for testing the hardness and scratch resistance of flat or curved surfaces (coatings, varnishes, plastics, etc.) carried out using a tungsten carbide tip Ø 1 mm on which is exerted a adjustable pressure.

AB6000 Wet Abrasimeter

Used to conduct dry or wet abrasion and washability tests on flat specimens to determine the resistance of paints, varnishes and coatings to dry or wet rubbing wear. Also suitable for testing the resistance of plastics (melamine worktops, household appliances, etc.) by simulating the daily action of brushes, sponges and abrasive pads, as well as the...
