Features & Benefits

• Designed for determining the stackability of coated metal sheets or tiles.

• The Elcometer 8400 is made up of two horizontal parallel plates mounted onto a frame. The upper plate is mobile and can apply a pressing force from 0 up to 30,000 Newtons (6,744 pound force) against the samples - simulating the effect of stacking.

• Each plate can be electrically heated and regulated up to 250°C (482°F), thus simulating changes in environmental temperature.

• Coated samples, to a maximum sample size of 250 x 250 mm (9.8 x 9.8"), are stacked horizontally between the two plates up to a maximum height of 140mm (5.5"), a force applied and a temperature selected.

• The operator determines the length of time the simulation is to run and, once complete, observes the sample sheets.
