Elcometer 308 Hygrometer

Before painting it is necessary to check that the climatic conditions are suitable for the coating being applied. These are clearly specified on the paint manufacturer's product data sheet. Surface temperature (Ts) and Relative Humidity (%RH) are two key climatic values which are specified on many data sheets. The Elcometer 308 Hygrometer has been specifically designed for use in very hot climates where the surface temperature of the substrate can exceed the paint manufacturer's recommended limits for successful painting.
