Paint Inspection Gauge P.I.G. Model 455
Only small quantities left in stock
Description
The P.I.G. 455 is a paint inspection gauge which is suitable for use wherever conventional electro-magnetic measuring techniques are ineffective, namely for coatings on wood, concrete, plastics and other non-metallic substrates.
Testing Principle
Testing with the P.I.G. 455 is based on the standardised wedge cut procedure: The coating is cut through at a defined angle in such a way that the cut penetrates the substrate. The layer thickness (s) is calculated on the basis of the slope projection (b) of the cut face, determined using a measuring microscope, and the cutting angle (α). Similarly, the inpidual layer thickness of multilayer systems can be ascertained.
Design and Function
The P.I.G. 455 consists of a black painted aluminium block which accommodates the following functional elements:
- Exchangeable carbide tip with precision-ground angular cutting blade.
- Measuring microscope with a magnification of 50 and a reticle (2 mm with 1/100 pision), which is also suitable for inspection tasks.
- Two pairs of support pins to hold the measuring microscope securely and guide the carbide tip.
- Battery compartment for mignon batteries AA (2 pcs)
- Combination of LED and fibre-optic light guide for optimum specimen illumination at low current consumption
- Key for the integrated illumination
