The Elcometer 2070 NPIRI Fineness of Grind Gauge is used to determine particle size and the fineness of grind of particles in printing inks according to the National Printing Inks Research Institute (NPIRI) scale.

As ink particles are so fine the two grooves of the gauge have a gentle gradient allowing a scale of 2.5µm for better resolution.

This Elcometer 2050 High Precision Grindometer is a single channel precision gauge used to determine particle size and fineness of grind for many materials including paints, pigments, inks, coatings, chocolates and other similar products.

The Elcometer 2020 Fineness of Grind Gauges is used to determine the particle size and fineness of grind of many materials including paints, pigments, inks, coatings, chocolates and other similar products.

These two channel gauges, are made of hardened stainless steel and have two grooves with a graded slope (dependent on the model chosen).

Elcometer 4900 Free Standing Vacuum Tables provide an ideal surface for the manual application of films on test charts or samples.

Made of perforated aluminium, the Elcometer 4900 keeps a wide range of test pieces absolutely flat (2.3μm variation over a 100mm length), including glass, plastic sheets, contrast charts etc.

The Elcometer 4695 Unvarnished Test Charts are ideal for testing applications of clear coatings and stains.

The Elcometer 4695 Spray Monitors are pressure sensitive labels with a hiding power test pattern and a sealed, solvent-resistant surface.

The Spray Monitors are used primarily with metal panels on which the panel alone provides no visual clue as to the thickness of the applied paint film.

In a typical scrub test, the coating is applied to the Leneta Scrub Test Panel at a specified film thickness, allowed to dry and then subjected to scrubbing with a straight-line scrub tester.

When used in accordance with ASTM D2486, Method A, a 10mil shim is inserted under the panel to accelerate failure and thereby reduce testing time.

The Elcometer 4695 Plain White Charts are designed for informal brushout applications, thicker paper is used for the testing of coatings applied with a brush or roller.

These are available in varying thicknesses and size. The Leneta WDX card comes with a convenient hole at the top.

The Elcometer 4695 Opacity Charts are used to test the hiding power of the coating, using large black and white areas.

The Elcometer 4695 Metopac Metal Test Panels are painted steel panels, used for measuring the hiding power of powder coatings and industrial enamels.

Available in half black/half white and all black.

Originally made to be used with the Duplex Film Applicator, an instrument designed for rapid production of side-by-side drawdowns, they now serve mostly as generic paint test charts.

The Elcometer 4695 Display/Spreading Rate Charts employ time-tested, diagonally striped patterns, having a strong visual impact that emphasises variations in film opacity.

The Display/Spreading Rate Charts are frequently used for hiding power display purposes, by means of drawdowns or brushouts.

Spreading Rate Charts (Form 8H) are accurately 0.

The Elcometer 4695 Checkerboard Charts are black and white checkerboard pattern charts used in drawdown hiding tests.

One of the earliest hiding power test surfaces was linoleum with a black and white checkerboard pattern, this was soon replaced by sealed paperboard charts.

Checkerboard Rate Charts are typically used in drawdown hiding tests.

The Elcometer 4695 Brushout Cards are designed for informal brushout applications; thicker paper is used for the testing of coatings applied with a brush or roller.

The paper stock is almost twice the thickness of regular chart paper to give greater rigidity for more convenient handling – nominal thickness 0.5mm (20 mils).

Made of stainless steel and consisting of a cylindrical bar wound with stainless steel wire, the Elcometer 4361 Spiral Bar Coaters are used to apply a predetermined thickness for coatings with high levelling characteristics.

• A wide range of different wire diameters provides a range of measures for coating thicknesses from 4 to 500μm (0.157 to 19.

Made of stainless steel and consisting of a cylindrical bar wound with stainless steel wire, the Elcometer Spiral Bar Coaters are used to apply a predetermined thickness for coatings with high levelling characteristics.

The Elcometer 4350 Non-Slip Rubber Mat is designed to minimise surface defects.

The Elcometer 4340 Motorised Film Applicator is essential for preparing a wide variety of product samples including paint, varnish, cosmetics and glue.

The Elcometer 4270 Sag Tester is used to establish a coating’s resistance to sag due to gravity.

Made from stainless steel, the straight scraper has 11 notches of increasing clearance.

A contrast chart is immediately placed in a vertical position with the thinnest film at the top.

The Elcometer 3580 Casting Knife Film Applicator is available in a wide range of film widths and has extended sides to confine the coating during the application and is an ideal gauge for the laboratory.

The film thickness can be adjusted in 10 micron steps from 0 to 6mm by means of two integrated micrometric screws.

The Elcometer 3570 Micrometric Film Applicator is made of anodised aluminium with a reservoir and a bevelled blade applicator body and is suitable for high-precision manual application of high viscosity fluids onto relatively firm substrates.

The Elcometer 3550 Single Sided Film Applicators are easy to clean gauges manufactured to the highest accuracy.

These precision ground stainless steel Single Sided Film Applicators have a flat edged prismatic body making them suitable for coatings applied to a flat and relatively strong substrate.

The Elcometer 3540 Four Sided Film Applicators are easy to clean gauges manufactured to the highest accuracy.

These precision ground stainless steel Four Sided Film Applicators have 4 thicknesses per applicator each with a flat edged prismatic body making them suitable for coatings applied to a flat and relatively strong substrate.

The Elcometer 3525 & 3530 Adjustable Baker Film Applicators are manufactured using the very latest machining techniques to ensure outstanding accuracy.

The Elcometer 3525 & 3530 allow’s the user to select the specific gap size required. The coating thickness gap size can be set to produce either a uniform film or a film wedge.
