Know How To Choose The Right Paint Thickness Gauge

A paint thickness gauge is a meter used to measure minimum coating or dry film thickness. However, the thickness of paint coatings can be gauged using either destructive or non-destructive method. For destructive thickness measurements, the coating is cut to the substrate with a cutter. The non-destructive coating thickness measurement involves techniques that do not damage the coating. Tips to choose the right paint thickness gauge In industries, manufacturers use paint thickness gauge to make sure their products are of required standards. Here are what to look for when choosing a thickness gauge: ·          Type of gauge There are various types of gauges available in the market, like permanent magnet gauges, magnetic induction gauges, or ultrasonic gauges. Look for an affordable digital coating thickness gauge that provides reliable measurements on almost any substrate, whether ferrous or non-ferrous.  ·          Accuracy Among all types of gauges available in the

A Brief Introduction to Charpy Impact Testing

Charpy Impact Tester is a laboratory testing machine that reveals the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture. This absorbed energy is an assessment of the available strength or toughness of material. Eventually, it is designed to determine whether the material is brittle or ductile in nature. Universities, automotive and aerospace companies, research laboratories and steel manufacturers are typical users for impact testing systems. An overview of Charpy Impact testing Salient Features A Charpy Impact Tester is a high-performance machine that has a pendulum with a defined length and mass. It is ideal for testing metals to Charpy and Izod standards of 150 Joules capacity. The key features of the impact tester are as follows: ·          Attachments Accessories for Charpy Impact Testing are easily fit into the machine unit. Each test requires a specific fixture, hammers and specimen adapters. ·          Results According to the test, the fall angle of
