Tri-Gloss Meter

Model:   ETB268-F2

 

 
 
 
This popular hand-held gloss measurement unit (multi-angle 20°, 60°, 85°) is used for assessment of coatings and finishing surfaces, such as, paints, varnishes, printing ink on materials such as marble, granite, polishing brick, ceramic tile, metals, plastic, wood surfaces and paper.
 

Electronic Inkometer

Model:   1100

 
The Inkometer 1100 measures tack of printing ink under conditions closely approximating the dynamic conditions of the ink-distribution system of a printing press.  The instrument provides high accuracy and efficiency to improve quality by measuring integrated forces involved in ink film splitting as well as effects of roller speed, film thickness, temperature and solvent evaporation.
 

Du-Pont Impact tester

Model:   I0007

 
The DuPont Impact Tester has been designed to test endurance of coated material impacted by a falling weight at specified points.  The purpose is to see if test specimens resist the effect of rapid impact by a falling weight at a fixed height.  Damage or deformation of the test specimen is checked after the impact.

IDM Instruments Crease & Stiffness Testers

Image
IDM's Crease & Stiffness Tester model C0039 and Cutter model C0016 has been released by IDM Instruments and comes in a new design. IDM’s precision cutter is designed to assist in the easy and accurate cutting of sample specimens for both crease stiffness and bending stiffness (resistance) testing. Benefits of Crease & Stiffness Testers include: ■ Consistency ■ Increased productivity ■ Decrease in waste material ■ Profit growth IDM’s precision cutter is designed to assist in the easy and accurate cutting of sample specimens for both crease stiffness and bending stiffness (resistance) testing. Now available with standard RS232 and software, the IDM Crease and stiffness tester can automatically capture the output of results to a PC where stiffness/crease ratios can be calculated, test results saved, and test reports created and printed. This makes the CST even more easy to use with accurate precision results.

Portable Foam Compression Tester from IDM

MINIFLEX CLD Why measure foam hardness?   All foamers measure the density of their product. Not all foamers, however, measure foam hardness. Foam hardness has a major influence on the comfort factor of the furniture, bedding or automotive product in which it is used. Variation in hardness is one of the most common complaints from customers. Trying to judge the hardness of a foam sample by hand-feel is almost impossible. Every person will have a different opinion. To ensure consistent Quality Control of foam production, it is necessary to have an industry recognised foam hardness test procedure that will give an accurate, recordable value. The foam industry measures foam hardness by various different tests. These can be grouped as either ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) or CLD (Compression Load Deflection) type tests. The test procedure first measures the thickness of the foam sample (pre-load). It is then compressed 3 times to 30% of its original t
