The Sheen Gel Strength Tester (previously known as Sheen 414N) is especially suited to assess the yield strength and consistency of thick paints and other materials such as gels and putties etc.
A 250 ml can containing the sample is magnetically fastened onto the turntable of the Gel Strength Tester. This turntable is loaded with a calibrated spring displaying an engraved scale of 0-450 gm/cm.
When immersed into the sample, the flat (4 x 2 cm) paddle spindle (D) rotates automatically to the set speed of 0.5 – 5.0rpm. The paddle spindle drives the whole can and turntable. After a peak reading followed by a short time of stabilization, a steady torque value is indicated on the Gel Strength Tester’s scale.
Alternative paddle formats are available upon request, allowing for a wider range of viscosity products to be tested.

The TQC Viscosity Cup ASTM D1200 Ford is a range of titanium anodized aluminum or stainless steel viscosity cups with fixed stainless steel nozzle (inner cavity). the viscosity cups are suitable for laboratory use with a stand. Widly used for measuring paint, lacquers and other liquids.
The TQC Dolly Drill is the perfect tool to remove the excess of glue and cut through the coating around dollies in order to prepare the dolly for the adhesion test. Fixed positioning is assured with the three strong magnets, allowing the drill to remove the coating around the dolly without putting any force on the dolly. Manually removing the access of glue and cutting through the coating is a hard job for inspectors that have to do many tests a day, which results in wrist and arm pains. The TQC Dolly Drill eases their work considerably, and increases the accuracy of the pull off adhesion tests because of a perfect vertical cutting movement down to the metal.
For the best reproducible results use the Adhesion tester AT, with the hydraulics and auto positioning feature of the pull-off head.
The TQC Cross Cut Adhesion Test KIT (Master Paint Plate) is a stainless steel measuring tool that features: a 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm cross cut adhesion test according NEN-EN-ISO 2409:2003 and ASTM D 3359 (X-cut) Andreas cross.
Additional tools
Delivery includes cutting tool and tape.
Tapes for the cross cut adhesion test
Tape For Adhesion Test according ISO 2409:2003
Tape For Adhesion Test according ISO 2409:1999 can be ordered separately as well.
The Sheen Viscosity Cup DIN 53211 Immersion is a range of titanium anodized aluminum or stainless steel viscosity cups with fixed stainless steel (SS303) nozzle (inner cavity) and handle. Inner dimensions similar to DIN 53211. Ideal for measuring coatings and other fluids during application or production.
The dimensions of this flow cup are according to DIN 53211, fitted with a handle, and also referred to as a FRIKMAR cup.
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.
