Ink Fineness Gauge Dual Channel

The double-groove fineness of grind gauge determines particle size distribution by scraping an ink sample into a film on a calibrated groove using a drawdown blade and observing the point where particles become visible. It is used to control the degree of pigment agglomeration in inks and coatings, ensuring printing uniformity and color consistency.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement range covering the sample particle size, stainless steel material for corrosion resistance, and clear, easy-to-read groove scales. Compare with industry standard specifications, ensure smooth operation, and confirm the completeness of the accompanying standard plates. Choose between manual or automatic models based on daily testing volume.
