Product Description:
These robust and user-friendly instruments are used for assessing the cupping ability of coatings applied to metal sheets up to 1.2mm (0.05”) thick.
The Elcometer 1620 has a 27mm (1.06”) diameter hardened steel die in a clamping device and a 20mm (0.79”) diameter punch. A hand-rotated crank and reduction drive moves the punch progressively into the sample.
The motorised version provides high levels of repeatability and replaces the manual crank handle to ensure perfect reproducibility. A constant “cupping speed” of 200µm per second (7.9mils per second) ensures an extremely high level of repeatability.
The Elcometer 1620 is available as either an analogue or a digital gauge and both models are supplied with an illuminated magnifier to accurately view the resultant damage and provides accurate readings of the cupping depth on an integrated gauge.
Direct viewing of the fissures, cracks and tears in the coating of up to 10µm (0.4mil) can be viewed through the supplied x10 illuminated magnifying glass.
