paint and surface coating scratch test

Name of the device: paint and coating hardness tester (paint and surface coating scratch test)

Application: It is a tool for testing the hardness and scratch resistance of coating materials such as coatings, lacquers, plastics, etc

Manufacturer: NEURTEK Spain and TQC Netherlands
Pendulum hardness tester: determination of hardness with KONIG and PERSOZ methods.
In both methods, the number of oscillations of the pendulum on the surface of the sample shows the hardness of the sample.

Viscosity

Viscosity cups

Application: The flow process (flow) inside an orifice is used to measure viscosity to determine the uniformity of paints, varnishes and other similar products. Viscosity cups are available in two fixed and variable nozzle models.

1- Fixed nozzle

2- Interchangeble nozzle

Density cup (pycnometer:

Application: The pycnometer is used to measure the specific gravity of each unit volume of coatings, adhesives or similar liquids at a temperature

Krebs viscometer:

THERMOGRAPH

Name of the device: Thermograph (temperature data logger)

Application: recording the temperature data of paint baking ovens

Manufacturing company: TQC Netherlands

Model: CURVE-X3

CURVE-X3 is recommended for paint curing ovens due to its easy use and high quality of temperature data recording. TQC IDEAL FINISH software analyzes the recorded data. Three simple steps of operation:

⦁ Connecting the probes to the device and turning on the device key ⦁ placing the device in the box and sending it into the furnace ⦁ Reading the results from the screen or sending them to the printer
