Elcometer 155 comb for uncured powder film

Available in four graduation ranges, the Elcometer 155 is designed to measure the thickness of uncured powder. This allows the spraying system to be set up and adjusted prior to the curing process. This then helps to reduce the amount of scrap and lost spatter.

Simply place the comb in the powder and slide it towards you. The measuring points (or teeth) are sharp and allow the powder to flow around them.

The thickness of the powder lies between the highest value (where a mark is visible) and the lowest value (where no mark has been produced).

Note: the thickness of a coating before firing does not necessarily have the same value after firing, but a correlation can be established. The powder comb is used for indicative purposes only.
