Technical Analysis
Accuracy is key in industrial coating services. We supply precision surface testing instruments to ensure every project meets the technical specification.
1. DFT Gauges (Digital)
High-precision digital coating thickness meters. Features automatic F/NF (Ferrous/Non-Ferrous) substrate detection and NABL traceable calibration.
- Range: 0 - 1500 Microns
- Accuracy: ±1% + 1μm
2. Surface Profile Meters
Verification of mechanical anchor patterns (roughness). Essential for ensuring compliance with Sa 2.5 and Sa 3.0 blasting standards.
- Profile: Peak-to-Valley detection
- Standard: ASTM D4417 Method B
3. Holiday Detectors (Spark)
High-voltage porosity detection for tank linings and pipelines. Detects microscopic pinholes (holidays) invisible to the naked eye.
- Voltage: 0.5kV to 30kV adjustable
- Safety: Audiovisual alarm trigger
4. Adhesion Test Kits
Cross-cut and pull-off adhesion verification. Quantifies the mechanical bond strength between the primer and the substrate.
- Method: ISO 2409 / ASTM D3359
- Kit: Precision tungsten steel cutters
