Pinhole & Porosity
-
Premature corrosion of a substrate is usually due to a coating failure. A major cause is the presence of flaws in the finished coating. Collectively referred to as porosity, the main types of flaws are:

Cylindrical Mandrel on a Stand
1500
-
The Elcometer 1500 Cylindrical Mandrel on a stand is a simple instrument for determining the elasticity, adhesion and cracking of dry paint on flat specimens, consisting of mandrel support which also serves as a test stand.

Product
Cross Cut Adhesion Tester
1540
-
The Elcometer 1540 Cross Cut Adhesion Tester is a simple instrument for quickly determining the coating adhesion of a large variety of paints up to 50µm (2 mils) thickness.

Product
Density & Specific Gravity
-
To maintain consistency of a coating, the Density should remain constant from batch to batch. Density Cups, also known as Specific Gravity Cups or Picnometers, are used to determine the mass per unit volume (Specific Gravity) of a liquid at a given temperature. Specific Gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of a given substance to the density of water, when both are at the same temperature. As the Specific Gravity Cup is an exact measurement of the volume of the liquid, it is imperative that the exact weight of the sample is obtained.

Hardness & Scratch Resistance
-
Hardness can be defined as a material’s resistance to permanent deformation. In the coatings industry, hardness measurement can be used to determine the resistance of the coating to scratching from general wear and tear and also if a coating is fully cured.

Soluble Salt Profiler
130 SSP
-
The Elcometer 130 Soluble Salt Profiler provides fast and accurate measurement of the level and density of soluble salts - over 4 times faster than other Bresle equivalent methods. The new Elcometer 130 Soluble Salt Profiler allows you to complete a Bresle equivalent test in just over two minutes. The multi-point conductivity sensors enable the Elcometer 130 SSP to accurately display salt concentration, showing exactly where the contamination lies and generating full colour salt density maps in 2D or 3D.

Product
Pull-Off Adhesion Tester
506
-
The Elcometer 506 are lightweight, portable and easy-to-use adhesion testers available in analogue or digital gauges and are suitable for measuring the pull-off adhesion of coatings up to 50MPa (7250psi) either on-site, or in the laboratory.
-
Product
Cross Hatch Cutter
107
-
The Elcometer 107 Cross Hatch Cutter for adhesion tests provides an instant assessment of the quality of the bond to the substrate.
-
Product
Punched Wet Film Combs (Aluminium)
112AL
-
The Elcometer 112AL, being punched from aluminium, is not as accurate as precision formed stainless steel wet film combs and has a shorter lifespan.
-
Product
Scrub Test Panels
4695
-
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.

Product
Mechanical Coating Thickness Gauges
-
Mechanical Coating Thickness Gauges are suitable for working in high risk areas such as high temperature or flammable atmospheres, underwater or where the risk of explosion is high and could be triggered by the use of an electronic instrument. From the simplest coating thickness gauge Elcometer 101 which will provide you with quick and immediate results to the more accurate coating thickness gauge Elcometer 211, also called the "banana gauge" which is ideal for cold and underwater surfaces.
