Overview of DENSITY CUP

The DENSITY CUP is used to measure the density of liquid paint and adhesion bond according to the density cup method.
The operator is to measure the density at a prescript temperature and present the density in g/ml form.

Overview of SPREAD METER

This tester is used to evaluate the flow ability of colorant and ink according to the spread meter method.
The operator is to measure the radius of the test specimen’s spread, 60 seconds after when the upper plate which is placed on the parallel plate falls on to the test specimen.

Overview of AUTOMATIC SPREAD METER

This tester is the automated version of the SPRED METER.
By attaching a camera to see and how the test specimen spreads, the test data can also be saved and data processed by a PC with a dedicated software.

Overview of FLOW CUP

The FLOW CUP is used to evaluate the flowability and viscosity of paint according to the cup method.
The cup is to be selected so that the flow time of the paint through the orifice becomes 30 to 100 seconds.

Reference Standards

JIS K5600-2-2, ISO 2431, ASTM D5125

Specification

Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Orifice Diameter	Select from ø3 mm, ø4 mm, ø5 mm, ø6 mm
Test Sample	150 ml
Accessories	Cup stand, glass plate
Options	Standard oil for calibration (kinematic viscosity 100 cSt, 200 cSt) (1 cSt = 1 mm2/s)
Dimensions and Weight (Approx.)	W180×D235×H345 mm, 2 kg (includes cup stand)

*JIS-K5400 compatible Ford cup is also available.

Overview of WET FILM THICKNESS GAUGE

The WET FILM THICKNESS GAUGE is to measure the ink’s wet film thickness.
The gauge is made by 3 rings. The center ring is smaller than the outer 2 rings and is eccentric so that when it is rolled on a wet paint, the operator can read the scale when the center ring touches the painted surface.

Reference Standards
