climatic conditions - temperature, humidity & dewpoint

Elcometer Home Page

During the application of a coating, the presence of moisture in the environment or on the work surface, often results in a poor quality finish. Problems such as poor adhesion of the coating or premature corrosion of the substrate can occur.

To determine the likelihood of moisture affecting the quality of the finish, it is essential that the surface temperature, air temperature, relative humidity (RH) and dewpoint are all measured.

  Elcometer 308 Hygrometer

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.

  Elcometer 309 Delta T Hygrometer

Before painting, the coater must meet the coatings' parameters. These are clearly specified on the paint manufacturer's product data sheet. Relative Humidity (%RH) and Delta T are the two climatic values which are specified on data sheets. The Elcometer 309 Delta T Hygrometer provides a simple and fast measurement of these two critical characteristics.

Elcometer 214 Infrared Digital Thermometer

The Elcometer 214 infrared thermometer is a hand held battery operated instrument, which safely and accurately and instantly measures the surface temperature of non reflective materials using infrared technology. As the measurement is non-contact the user can be confident that the substrate will not be contaminated as can be the case with contact thermometers.

 

Elcometer 214 Infrared Digital Laser Thermometer

The Elcometer 214 is a simple, easy-to-use, non-contact thermometer which safely and accurately measures surface temperature of non-reflective materials using infrared technology. With a measuring range of -35°C to 365°C or -31°F to 689°F, user switchable, a digital display of the temperature in °C or °F is produced in less than one second.

 

Elcometer 113 Magnetic Thermometer

These magnetic thermometers indicate the surface temperature of steel and other magnetic materials continuously. The thermometer is placed onto the substrate and the temperature is displayed on the dial. As the principle of operation uses a bi-metallic strip, no batteries are required.
