The Universal Thickness Gauge for Industrial Coating Thickness Measurement

One coating thickness measuring device – diverse applications! The MMS® Inspection DFT is the all-rounder in the field of coating thickness measurement. Ideally suited for coating thickness measurement on both steel and non-ferrous metals, it finds application in a variety of industries. But here’s something special in a coating thickness gage: it’s protected against dust and water jets by an IP65-rated housing. Even under harsh conditions like in heavy corrosion protection, the dry film thickness gauge makes measuring is easy.

ICSPI has integrated all of the components of a traditional AFM onto a single 1 mm x 1 mm chip to create the world’s first single-chip AFM. That means that 250 AFMs can fit on the face of a penny.

The nGauge AFM uses micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) to control the X, Y and Z position of the tip. This means that no alignment of lasers is required.

The nGauge is the smallest AFM in the world. Because the entire unit weighs less than 500 grams, the nGauge rejects building vibrations, so no vibration isolation table is needed, which makes the nGauge a true benchtop AFM.

Baths feature PID microprocessor controller to deliver precise temperature control, with ASTM specified tolerances throughout the operating temperature range. Dual digital displays show set point time and actual temperature. Timers display in 0.01-second resolution and have ±0.01% accuracy. Models with RS-232 port also allow you to enter the viscosity constant of each viscometer on the controller panel. Controller automatically displays test results in efflux time and viscosity units when timers stop. Controller automatically shuts off power when there is an overtemperature condition or if the primary probe is disconnected.

The integrated low-level sensor interrupts operations if the bath liquid does not fill to the proper level, and shuts off power if the liquid falls below the level. Bath chamber is a clear Pyrex® tank enclosed in a polyester-epoxy finished steel housing. Top plate holds the viscometers and is made of stainless steel for easy cleaning. Front viewing window reduces distortion. Glare-free fluorescent lights in the bath and a background baffle enhance the view of the viscometers. Baths rest on adjustable leveling feet.

Consists of two heat-transfer corrosion cells with temperature and pressure controls for evaluating engine coolant samples in accordance with ASTM D4340. Maintains aluminum alloy specimens at constant temperature in the presence of 500 mL samples. Each corrosion cell includes a borosilicate glass test cell, heat transfer bar, aluminum test specimen with thermocouple port, Type J thermocouple, 950W band heater, pressure gauge, pressure relief valve, stainless steel end plates with support rods, fill plug and o-rings, and acrylic safety shields. Digital temperature controllers maintain specimens at temperatures of up to 210 ± 1°C throughout the test period. Test cells are mounted on a finished steel base. Controls are housed in a separate finished steel cabinet.

Provides a laboratory screening procedure for evaluating the corrosion preventing capabilities of engine coolants under heat transfer conditions that may be encountered in aluminum cylinder head engines. Corrosion preventing effectiveness is determined by the change in weight of an aluminum alloy test specimen after an extended period at elevated temperature in the presence of a coolant sample.

Two Models are Available – The Automatic Distillation Analyzer 5000 Series may be ordered for operation with an external PC (purchased separately) or may be ordered with a built-in PC, internal touch screen monitor, virtual keyboard and mouse. An easy-to-use Windows®-based PC communication software expands user capabilities for data analysis and unit control. Distillation methods and parameters can be easily created or modified. Software calculates repeatability and reproducibility as per ASTM D86 as well as standard and deviation against reference materials. Test results are displayed in real-time and can include distillation curve and temperature with or without barometric compensation and/or evaporation correction, distillation rate, heating power curve, master curve comparison, and zoom function for high resolution of heating and temperature curves. The heater compartment is rapidly cooled at the completion of a distillation run to reduce operator downtime. The analyzers are of rugged construction for instrument longevity with a modular design for easy routine maintenance.

The Automated Tag Closed Cup flash point tester ensures the accuracy and precision required according to the ASTM D56 and related test methods. The test sample is heated at a prescribed rate of temperature increase throughout the standard temperature test range to 100°C. The flash point tests are simply conducted by mounting the flash cup filled with sample into the test position and selecting a pre-programmed test method or the search mode to determine an approximate flash point. The automation routines provide accurate test results. Ignition by gas flame or electrical ignitor is included, along with safety cut-off devices. The measurement range can be extended to –30°C by any appropriate external chiller. Supervision software is included.

This simple-to-use biodiesel GC system is ideal for the quantitative determination of free and total glycerin in B100 methyl esters by gas chromatography. The calibrated results are displayed directly, eliminating off-line calculations.

Both the carrier gas and the Flame Ionization Detector (FID) combustion gas are controlled by programmable Electronic Pressure Controllers (EPCs). EPCs not only provide rock-solid retention time reproducibility, but allow the carrier gas to be pressure ramped (just as the column oven is temperature ramped) from the built-in PeakSimple data system.

The on-column injector is ideal for 1⁄8″ packed and 0.53-mm wide-bore capillary columns, and is suitable for analyses ranging from methane to heavy, high-boiling hydrocarbons (C44+). The column oven accepts column cage diameters up to four inches, is programmable to 752°F (400°C), and recycles quickly with its high-speed cool-down fans.

The Tackiness Tester, K95200, has been designed to provide an objective and qualitative test for tackiness. The tester quantifies the cohesive and adhesive tactile properties of greases by measuring the sample in Newton’s and replaces the old finger sticky test method with a numerical and graphical result.
Greases are widely used in machinery and automotive components to protect components from frictional and wear losses. As a result, interaction properties like tackiness become crucial factors and often dictate their performance, especially when it comes to bearing lubrication. This property is related to microstructural aspects of grease such as thickener network, wetting agents and additives.
