The Elcometer 319 Dewpoint Meter can monitor and record all of the key climatic parameters simultaneously, telling you if conditions are suitable for painting. 0:00 - Why we measure climatic conditions before painting 1:50 - Introducing the Elcometer 319 3:34 - How to use the Elcometer 319 4:58 - Interval Logging with Elcometer 319T 5:46 - ElcoMaster and the Elcometer 319 If a coating is applied in the wrong climatic conditions this can affect its performance, resulting in flaws, problems with coating adhesion, and ultimately coating failure. This is why key climatic parameters should be monitored before and during application, to ensure conditions are suitable for painting. For a long time this was and still is done using a whirling hygrometer, also known as a sling psychrometer, which measures the wet bulb and dry bulb temperature of the air, in order to then calculate the relative humidity and dewpoint temperature. Typically, you’d then use a separate thermometer to measure the surface temperature, in order to calculate the Delta T. But with multiple pieces of equipment, and the need to use conversion tables and calculations to obtain your results, surely there’s a more effective way to monitor climatic conditions than this. There is: the Elcometer 319 Dewpoint Meter. Whether using as a handheld dewpoint meter, or as a remote data logging monitor, the Elcometer 319 can monitor and record all of the key climatic parameters simultaneously, telling you if conditions are suitable for painting. The Elcometer 319 is equipped with an air temperature and humidity probe, a surface temperature probe, and a K-Type connector, which allows you to connect additional external probes such as magnetic surface temperature probes or liquid temperature probes. That means this single gauge can measure and record: • Surface temperature (Ts), the temperature of the surface to be painted; • Air temperature (Ta), the temperature of the air surrounding the surface to be painted; • % Relative Humidity (RH), the amount of humidity present in the air compared to the maximum possible, expressed as a percentage; • Dewpoint (Td), the temperature at which moisture condenses on a surface, calculated from the air temperature and % Relative Humidity; • Delta T (TΔ), the difference between the surface temperature (Ts) and the dewpoint temperature (Td); • Wet bulb temperature (Twb), calculated from surface temperature and relative humidity; • And Dry bulb temperature (Tdb), equal to air temperature. The gauge is dust and waterproof with fully sealed sensors, equivalent to IP66, and can safely be used in a wide range of climates. And unlike the whirling hygrometers, which you have to spin around to obtain measurements, the Elcometer 319 can be held against the substrate, or even attached using the integrated magnets, allowing you to measure the climatic conditions of the localised area around the substrate being painted, so you can obtain more relevant readings. While it’s important to monitor the conditions before you start painting, it’s equally important to continue to monitoring whilst the job is ongoing, as conditions change throughout the day. That’s why the Elcometer 319 Model T can continuously monitor and record the conditions as you paint using its Interval Logging feature, taking a reading automatically at rate of your choice between 1 second and 24 hours. If you wish to continuously log the surface temperature, we recommend using an external surface temperature probe with this feature, so it remains securely attached to the surface without needing to be held. What’s more you can set high and low limits on any and all parameters, so the Elcometer 319 instantly alarms whenever a parameter exceeds specification. And, once the inspection is done, every reading of every climatic parameter can be transferred via USB or Bluetooth to ElcoMaster®, Elcometer’s free data management software for Android and Apple mobile devices, or PC, allowing you to further analyse the data and create professional inspection reports instantly. Thanks to ElcoMaster® it’s even possible to remotely monitor the Elcometer 319 live, while it’s logging the conditions, creating a mobile climate station. And by setting limits within ElcoMaster®, the moment one of the parameters falls out of specification, as long as you’re connected or within Bluetooth range, you’ll be able to see instantly.

The Elcometer MTG range of ultrasonic material thickness gauges accurately and non-destructively measure the thickness of materials when only one side is accessible – ideal for monitoring corrosion and erosion. CONTENTS 0:23 - Introducing the Elcometer MTG range 2:14 - How dual element transducers work 3:22 - Transducers and the Elcometer MTG 3:54 - Key features of the Elcometer MTG range 5:21 - Calibrating the Elcometer MTG range 5:52 - Elcometer MTG and ElcoMaster Capable of measuring almost any coated or uncoated material, for a wide range of applications – including steel pipelines and storage tanks, porcelain basins, plastic piping, or rubber linings to name a few – the Elcometer MTG range is made up of four models: - The entry-level Elcometer MTG2, a pre-calibrated gauge which simply measures the thickness of uncoated steel; - the Elcometer MTG4 and MTG6, which can measure a wide range of materials even when they’re coated; - and the top-of-the-range Elcometer MTG8, which includes all the features and functionality necessary for measuring the material thickness and sound velocity of virtually any material. Despite their differences, every model in the Elcometer MTG range has a simple, intuitive menu system in multiple languages, so they are easy-to-use without compromising on features or functionality; dust and waterproof equivalent to IP54, ideal for use in the harshest of environments; and accurate to 1% - making this range of Elcometer NDT gauges versatile and reliable. With the ability to measure the thickness or sound velocity of most materials - such as metals, plastics, glass, epoxies, and ceramics – the Elcometer MTG range uses a dual element transducer, and a small amount of ultrasonic couplant, to measure the substrate thickness, even when it is coated with up to 2mm of paint; ideal for when you need to measure the thickness of a coated material without damaging the coating. The Elcometer MTG thickness gauges are designed to work with Elcometer’s range of intelligent transducers, which all have automatic probe recognition - so as soon as the transducer is connected to a gauge, the gauge immediately detects what type of transducer you’re working with. If you already have a range of transducers you wish to use which have Lemo Connectors; they can be connected to the Elcometer MTG gauges using a dual element transducer adaptor – all you have to do is tell the gauge what transducer you are using. The Elcometer MTG gauges have user selectable measurement rates of up to 16 readings per second (16 Hertz); ideal for quickly scrubbing across a surface, recording multiple measurements. If you are measuring large surface areas, the Elcometer MT6 and MTG8 have scan mode, where you can scrub the transducer over the test area, and the gauges will display the average, lowest, and highest thicknesses across the scanned area. In addition to displaying the material thickness, the Elcometer MTG6 and MTG8 ultrasonic gauges have a choice of displays, ensuring the information you need is on screen, when you need it. Using the Elcometer MTG8’s differential mode, which displays the last reading, and how much it differs from the user definable nominal value – also known as the target thickness – you get an instant indication of where the material is thicker or thinner than expected. The Elcometer MTG8 also has B-Scan, which shows any changes in the material thickness, visually, as you move across the surface - ideal for quickly identifying large changes in depth within the material. What’s more, the Elcometer MTG8’s ability to set high and low limits, means that whenever a reading exceeds the range, the gauge gives you an audio and visual warning, clearly highlighting any problem areas, instantly. The Elcometer MTG range have several calibration options; with simple, on-screen instructions that guide you through each method - so it’s easy to maintain the gauge’s accuracy, at all times. To find out more about all of the calibration methods, make sure you watch our Ultrasonic NDT calibration videos. The Elcometer MTG8 also allows you to programme up to 3 calibration memories, so you can select a saved calibration method without the need to re-calibrate the gauge.

When it comes to the development of products; such as paints, varnishes, cosmetics, or glues for example; manufacturers will typically test various properties of their product to ensure they know exactly how it will perform when used by customers. This is why manufacturers need be able to create repeatable and reproducible sample films of a defined thickness - in order to perform meaningful, comparable tests on their products. These sample films are typically created using a film applicator. CONTENTS 0:00 - Introduction to Film Application 0:57 - How a film applicator works 2:04 - Why use an automatic film applicator 2:42 - Introducing the Elcometer 4340 5:02 - What samples can you create? While there are many different designs of applicator, they all work in essentially the same way. The applicator is placed on a flat substrate – this is often done on a test chart, but it could applied to a wide range of materials such as metal, glass, or polythene to name a few – then the product you wish make a sample film of is added either into either the applicator’s reservoir (if it has one) or in front of the applicator. The applicator is then moved across the substrate at a steady speed, guiding the product through a precision engineered gap, which creates a film of a defined thickness. In order to undertake fair and accurate tests on these films, they all have to be the same, and when creating these films manually, human error can create inconsistencies between films. Differences in how smoothly you complete the drawdown, how quickly you move the applicator, or how much downward force you place on the applicator while moving it, can all affect the resulting film. And these are differences that could come from just one person creating the films, let alone different people. So, in order to remove that human error, and ensure repeatable and reproducible films are made, every time; a motorised, automatic film applicator can be used. This is where the Elcometer 4340 Motorised Automatic Film Applicator comes in. With a precision engineered aluminium table that’s 5 times flatter than glass, and mounted on a heavy base unit designed to minimise vibrations and produce high quality samples without “vibration ridges”; the Elcometer 4340 Automatic Film Applicator provides total consistency and reproducibility when applying films on various substrates - including contrast charts, steel sheet, glass, and more. The sturdy, rigid design, which can provide up to 15 years of standard use, not only eliminates the variation in samples usually caused by human error, but also eliminates the variation that comes from smaller, more lightweight motorised film applicators, that are susceptible to “vibration ridges”. The Elcometer 4340’s larger size not only helps with the quality of your samples, but the quantity too, as the large testing table makes it possible to test 2 charts simultaneously. Not only that, there’s a choice of tables available. In addition to the standard flat table, where you simply clip the substrate to the testing table, there’s a choice of two vacuum tables. The perforated vacuum table is ideal for a wide range of test pieces including glass, plastic sheets and contrast charts, including thicker more substantial test pieces; while the double channel vacuum table, is designed for thinner test pieces such as polythene for example, as the table creates a vacuum from the edges rather than through perforations, keeping the thin material flat and secure without creating irregularities. Not only are all of Elcometer’s vacuum tables engineered to be flat and precise with little variation, but they are powered by a separate vacuum pump. By keeping the vacuum separate from the main unit, this again helps keep vibrations down to a minimum. The Elcometer 4340 can also be fitted with an electrically heated table, so you can simulate the application of your film in hotter climates, from ambient room temperature up to 200°C. With 11 pre-set transverse speeds, from 5 to 100mm per second, and the ability to set your transverse length, the Elcometer 4340 makes it easy for you to repeatedly create precisely the films you need in order to test your product. As for what samples you can create, the Elcometer 4340 works with a full range of Elcometer Film Applicators and Spiral Bar Coaters, and it’s even possible to use up to three film applicators at the same time.

An Elcometer 24200 Abrasive Blast Machine was sent to Nottingham to be field-tested and reviewed by an independent blaster with more than three decades of experience. Patrick O'Brien of Sherwood Blast Cleaning gives his independent review of the Elcometer 24200, talking about the abrasive blast machine, the Elcometer GV Abrasive Media Valve and elcoTOUGH™ Rubber Valve Liner, the Elcometer Leather Blast Suit, and Nova 3 Blast Helmet. Designed from the ground-up, and manufactured at our state-of-the-art production facility in Manchester, Elcometer’s range of Abrasive Blast Machines are engineered to be efficient, more reliable, and easier to maintain. Using an Iron Silicate Abrasive on several different surfaces, Patrick blasted with around 70 meters of blast hose, at various pressures, using three different nozzle sizes; as part of a wider investigation into abrasive blasting efficiency. Patrick has used many different blast machines over the years, and we were interested to know what’s most important to him when choosing a blast machine for a job, and what his first impressions were of the Elcometer 24200. A follow-up visit has since been planned to see how the blast machine has held up over time and to complete the abrasive blasting efficiency study.

Performance and efficiency are nothing without durability. That’s why Elcometer’s Blast Machines are engineered to last longer. To minimise downtime; the remote control valve, exhaust, silencer, and water separator can all be quickly swapped out in one assembly - just by undoing two union joints. So, while the assembly is being serviced in the shop, you can carry on blasting. Servicing inside the blast machine is easy thanks to the large access doorway, which is wide enough for both of your arms. And, as each door comes with an ElcoFit™ Wraparound Sealing Gasket, you don’t have to worry about gasket alignment when closing the door. Our focus on durability is not limited to the blast machine. Elcometer’s GV and AGV abrasive metering valves are fitted with replaceable elcoTOUGH™ Rubber Valve Liners, which protect and prolong the lifetime of the valve itself. Field trials have shown that the elcoTOUGH™ liner can last more than 3 times longer than other rubber liners.

This video is part of "Introducing the Elcometer Range of Dry Abrasive Blast Machines". WATCH THE FULL VIDEO HERE: https://youtu.be/e5JUVpTfmlk #blastmachine #blastequipment #abrasiveblasting #sandblasting #elcometer Great care has been taken to make sure that each and every component of an Elcometer dry abrasive blast machine has been designed to be safer, more reliable, efficient, and easier to maintain. Every item has been designed to optimize your performance in the field – whether it’s our remote control valves, our abrasive media valves, air distribution manifolds, or moisture separators - and what’s more, they are made in Great Britain. CE approved, fully tested, and certified to the latest PED International Standard [PED 2014/68EU] and ASME International Standard [ASME BPVC] – each Elcometer Abrasive Blast Machine is supplied with a pressure test certificate as standard. The Elcometer Abrasive Blast Machines are available in a range of sizes, starting at the small 10”, 20 litre [0.7cu ft] unit – ideal for small blasting projects, touch up work, or when you need to blast in confined spaces; all the way up to our 24”, 285 litre [10.0cu ft.] units, which are perfect for large scale applications which need continuous high production blasting. Elcometer’s portable and static Abrasive Blast Machines are rated to operate up to a maximum working pressure of 12 bar [174psi], ensuring you will always have the pressure at the nozzle you need to maximise your productivity. And for those jobs where you need it, we also have a range of 15bar [217psi] portable and static units, which ensure that no matter how long your blast hose is, you can rest assured that you will be able to have the pressure you need at the nozzle - even if the hose is a little old or wearing out, and no matter what abrasive you are using. The design of your blast machine, and your blast hose’s diameter, length, age, wear and quality, can all affect the pressure at the nozzle. The pressure at the nozzle, together with the cfm flow rate, has a dramatic effect on blast efficiency and productivity. In fact, for every additional 1psi (0.068bar) above 100psi (6.8bar) at the nozzle, you get a 1.5% increase in productivity. That is why our blast machines have not only been engineered for minimal pressure loss, but when combined with Elcometer’s 12 or 15bar [174 or 217psi] maximum working pressure, you will always achieve the pressure you need at the nozzle to maximise your productivity, no matter what the condition of your blast hose. What’s more, to optimise the cfm flow rate through the blast machine, all of our pipework has an internal diameter of 1½” (38mm) from the air intake to the Mixer T, allowing you to select a larger nozzle diameter - so you can blast more, in less time.
