Features & Benefits

• During the development of a coating, to establish the most appropriate coating for a specific requirement, numerous tests need to be undertaken. Many can be done with the Elcometer 1535.

• Designed to cut St. Andrew's crosses and parallel or perpendicular scratches, this pneumatic tester is designed to ensure reproducible scratching tests, often performed manually and inconsistently.

• Steel specimens are held in place by a magnetic plate measuring 200 x 100mm (7.8 x 3.9"). This plate can be orientated as required and has an adjustable displacement from 10 to 180mm (0.4 to 7.0"). Upon request, this table can be fitted with channels linked to a vacuum pump for
  holding non-ferrous samples such as plastics and aluminium.

• Combining sample position, table orientation, run length and the appropriate tool, parallel or crossed scratches of different dimensions are created. The Elcometer 1535 is adaptable to various applications simply by changing the tool and its specific holder.

• Tools can be quickly changed and the fixture ensures that they are perpendicular to the test sample.
