Check Powder thickness
with Powder Checker before curing to help insure correct
cured film thickness the first time through the line.
Avoid stripping and re-coating which can cause problems
with adhesion and coating integrity.
VERSATILITY
- Ideal for set-up and quality control
- Works on a variety of part sizes, shapes and substrates
such as metal, plastic, wood, glass, and more
- Easy to carry; convenient shirt pocket size
QUALITY
- Broad stand-offs on both sides of teeth help keep
gage perpendicular to surface when measuring
- Rugged aluminum construction for long gage life
and static control
- Precision gage; manufactured to a tolerance + 5
microns or + 0.0002 inch
- Protective leather pouch included with each gage
SIMPLE OPERATION
- Push the Powder Checker perpendicularly into the
dry powder so that the two stand-offs (end tabs) on
both sides of the teeth rest firmly on the substrate.
- Drag the Powder Checker along the surface of the
coated part for at least 1 centimeter.
- Remove the Powder Checker from the surface and examine
the marks left in the powder.
The powder thickness is between the highest numbered
tooth which made a mark and has powder clinging to
it, and the next highest tooth which left no mark
and has no powder clinging to it.
Note - Most powders cure to approximately 50% of their
dry thickness. Marks left by the gauge may affect
the characteristics of the cured film. |
