Grindometer – Automatic Fineness of Grind Tester QualiGrind-Auto
Measuring the fineness of paint using a grind gauge is a traditional and widely used method. However, achieving consistent test results with high repeatability and comparability can be challenging.
The first challenge arises from variations in the force and speed applied by different operators when using the scraper to spread the sample in the gauge’s channel. The second challenge is the subjective judgment involved in evaluating particle count and distribution. This task is particularly difficult for gauges with narrow ranges, such as 0-25 μm, where providing accurate results within 5 seconds is especially demanding.
Grindometer – Automatic Fineness of Grind Tester QualiGrind-Auto, developed by Qualitest, is a state-of-the-art, intelligent instrument designed to address these challenges. It ensures uniform application of the sample with consistent speed and force, automatically captures and saves images of particles in the grooves, and accurately determines the fineness value within 5 seconds. Additionally, it generates statistical charts of particle distribution, aligning with the standards for result evaluation.
