Fineness Comparator

The fineness gauge uses a scraper to spread the paint sample into a wedge-shaped film layer, and the scale value where particle streaks appear is visually determined to assess particle fineness. It is used to control the dispersion degree of pigment particles in coatings and inks, preventing surface roughness or screen clogging in coatings.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement range covering the sample particle size, the metal scraper's wear and rust resistance, and the double-scale ruler for clear readings. For oily samples, choose stainless steel; for aqueous samples, carbon steel can be used. A matching leveling base is required to ensure even scraping.
