  • This simple device uses the principle of distance = speed x time to determine the drying time of a coating.

  • A rod with a ball tip is brought into contact with a test piece of fresh paint under a load of 12g (0.42oz) and traces a circumference of 50mm (1.96").

  • The drying time is evaluated from the condition of the trace and measured with a template with time markings.
