Conductivity Meter
Provides measurement of electrical conductivity of solvents and solvent borne paint formulations for electrostatic spray applications.
Density Cup
Density is defined as weight per unit volume at a specified temperature. Density cups are used for quality control because errors in paint composition will result in different density readings. Density cups have also been described as liquid pycnometers.
Fineness of Grind Gages
Also called grind gages and Hegman gages. Many types of solid materials must be ground or milled into finer particles for dispersion in appropriate liquid vehicles. The physical properties of the resulting dispersions, often called “grinds”, depend not only on the actual size of the individual particles, but also on the degree to which they are dispersed.
Grind gages are used in controlling the production, storage, and application of dispersion products produced by milling in the paint, plastic, pigment, printing ink, paper, ceramic, pharmaceutical, food, and many other industries.
Drying Time Recorder
The various stages of drying and curing that occur in films are easy to detect but difficult to define in terms of chemical and physical principles. In order to evaluate them objectively it is necessary to use instrumentation under controlled conditions.
Two different size cups are available:
