INTRODUCTION

The Fineness of Grind Gauge is used for the determination of the wet film thickness at

which the size of the pigment just exceeds the film thickness.

WHY USE GRIND GAUGES?

1) Grinding is expensive – use the gauge to determine minimum grinding time

2) Insufficiently ground materials yield untidy films with substandard gloss values.

3) For comparison of different sources of pigment ground for equal times.

4) Optimisation of grinding equipment.

DESCRIPTION

The term “Mils” is sometimes applied as a generic description to these gauges and, in spite of National and International specifications recommending the adoption of the micron(um) scale, arbitrary scales such as Mils,Hegman, North, FSPT. etc., are sometimes wanted.

Each gauge consists of a block of hardened stainless steel with dimensions of:175mm x63mm x 13mm with either a single or double channel of 12.5mm width and supplied with a scraper blade.

Size ranges: 0-25um, 0-50um, 0-100um.

ALL OUR GAUGES ARE MADE FROM HIGH QUALITY STAINLESS STEEL
