The Tri-Gauge is today’s most versatile Lever Pit Gauge, with its Metric and dual Imperial Scales. Additionally, the Tri-Gauge serves as a basic Weld Inspection Gauge for; Undercut Depth, Weld Crown Height, a Porosity (diameter) Comparator; and both Metric and Imperial Rules. The Tri-Gauge is fitted with a Patented pointer Offset Correction for improved accuracy and repeatability. Lever Pit Gauges are intended to evaluate corrosion, and not as an absolute measuring tool. The Tri-Gauge is supplied with a Pocket Protector type Case and Instructions.
Adhesion Test Kit for Coatings on Wood
The TQC Adhesion Test Kit (HPK) is a method developed in the Netherlands by FOSAG and SKH. This method determines the adhesion of new and old paint layers on wood and wood like materials. The damage on the substrate will be reduced to a minimum. The adhesion is judged by comparing the removed paint on the tape and the remaining paint on the wood. Finally illustrations are used for classifying the damage from class 0 to 5. Delivery includes cutting tool and also tape.
The Tape For Adhesion Test can be ordered separately as well.
The Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge Group provides Inspectors with an Economical Alternative to the Bridging Pit Gauge System. The new Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge is available as 3 models; the standard Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge, the Plus, and the Super. The standard Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge assembles to an overall length of 13″ (340mm). The Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge Plus can be assembled in either Spanning or Cantilevering Configurations up to 15″ (394mm) long. While the Jr. Bridging Pit Gauge Super can also be assembled in both Spanning or Cantilevering Configurations, up to 27″ (685mm) long.
The Junior’s Main Blade, and the optional Extender Blades are fitted with strong magnets that secure any of the Jr. Bridging Pit Gauges to the surface of the workpiece. These Magnetic Hold Downs have several benefits, such as; Aligning the unit to Concave or Convex surfaces, keeping the operator free to record readings or manipulate the assembly when Scanning through Pits and Weight loss Corrosion. These features position the Plus, and the Super far ahead of any competitive units.

The TQC Cross Cut Adhesion Test KIT CC3000 is used to test the adhesion of dry coats of paint on their substrate by means of a series of cuts through the coating. Two series of parallel cuts cross angled to each other to obtain a pattern of 25 or 100 similar squares. The ruled area is evaluated by using a table chart after a short treatment with a stiff brush, or adhesive tape for hard substrates.
The cutting depth of the TQC Cross Cut Adhesion Test KIT CC3000 can be adjusted while the cutter is guided by two ball bearings to assure reproducible results. The depth of the TQC Cross Cut Adhesion Test KIT CC3000 is adjustable to measure coatings up to 250 µm thick.
