The Comprehensive Abrasion Test is a universal test machine to test the coating abrasion resistance on beverage cans or flat materials. The reciprocating motion mimics in-the-field transportation abrasion damage of coatings equivalent to the Gavarti Associates “GV-CAT” system. The Comprehensive Abrasion Test is used in coating test laboratories for quality control work.
The Scrub Abrasion and Washability Tester tests the resistance of paint, varnish or coatings to scratching, wearing, and color loss due to wet or dry abrasion.
The PosiTector 6000 Coating Thickness Gauge is available in 2 models: the PosiTector 6000 Standard and Advanced. There are many probes to choose from either with a PosiTector 6000 gauge body or you may purchase a probe separately. See the PosiTector 6000 descriptions and downloadable pdf brochures in the description area below for more info.
The TQC Pendulum Hardness Tester has a lot of unique features that ease defining hardness by the König and/or Persoz method as described in ISO 1522. Both methods work on the principle that the damping time of a pendulum oscillating on a sample indicates the hardness.
The instrument has an easy menu-driven interface with jog dial. The automated electronic counting mechanism is not affected by reflections from the surrounding area. The water-level is located on the test specimen, rather than on the instrument’s base. Once the instrument is leveled further calibration is not required. The gas-spring supported transparent draft cover allows easy access to all parts of the instrument.
TQC’s Pendulum Hardness Tester is a modular system. The instrument itself can be used for both the König and- Persoz method. Both pendulums should be ordered separately. After placing the correct pendulum, switching between the two measuring methods only takes a push of a button. The Pendulum is positioned fully automatically by means of a stepper motor. Also the release of the Pendulum is automated through electro-magnetic system. The end of a test is indicated by a visual and acoustic signal.
The TQC Pendulum Hardness Tester base device is available as a 110VAC / 50/60Hz and a 230VAC / 50Hz model.
Instrument for testing the quality of concrete and other construction materials according to UNI EN 12504-2 and ASTM C805. The recoil-force of the automatic hammer is displayed on the scale and indicates the strength of the concrete.
For analysing concretes with a minimum resistance of 10 N/mm2 to values as high as 110 N/mm2, which are now achievable with the ingredients and mixes available today.
The Impressor is a convenient tool for testing the hardness of aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper, brass and other materials including plastics and fiberglass. The instrument is designed for use on fabricated parts and assemblies as well as on raw stock.
The TQC Pencil Hardness Test according Wolff Wilborn provides in a simple method to test the scratch hardness of coatings. In this test, pencils in a range of 6B to 8H hardness-grade are used. The pencil is moved scratching over the surface under a 45° angle with a constant pressure. Then an optical assessment is carried out to see which pencil hardness damages the surface. Delivered with a set of 20 Koh-i-noor pencils and a pencil sharpener.
The TQC Hardness Pen is a pocket instrument for testing the hardness and wear/scratch resistance of materials such as coatings, lacquers, plastics or related products. A tungsten carbide tip is drawn over the surface with a defined constant pressure. The pressure on the tip can be changed using the slide or by changing the spring. A visual mark on the surface after use of the TQC Hardness Pen indicates a fail of the surface hardness or wear/scratch resistance. Can be used on flat and curved surfaces.
There are 2 versions available, the Standard and Pro.
The Standard version is supplied with 3 springs and one tip:
0-3N, graduation 10 g
0-10N, graduation 50 g
0-30N, graduation 150 g
Tip 1mm
The pro version includes the above as well as:
Tip 0,5mm
Tip 0,75mm
Pen holder with guidance wheels, which provides very stable load on tip and makes it easier to apply force.
The laser-engraved scale is clearly visible on the grey background.
The TQC Shore Hardness Gauge is a reliable instrument for measuring the impression hardness of soft materials such as coatings, plastics and rubber. Equipped with a drag indicator, which holds the highest measured result. Delivery includes a simple test block.
Complies with: DIN 53505, ISO 868 and ASTM D 2240
The TQC Shore Hardness Gauge Test Stand is suitable for Shore A, C, and D* type Durometer. The test stand construction includes operating handle, adjustable glass stage, (height) adjustable Durometer fixture.
