Paint Fineness Gauge

The paint fineness gauge measures the maximum particle size in coatings using the drawdown method. A scraper blade is used to create a wedge-shaped groove on a standard plate, and the fineness is determined by observing the position where particles appear and reading the corresponding scale value. It is used to control the dispersion quality of coatings and the smoothness of coating surfaces, and is applied in quality control during the production of paints and inks, as well as in raw material inspection.
Selection
Select the scraper material based on the viscosity of the material being tested, using stainless steel for high viscosity. Determine the measurement range based on the estimated fineness range, commonly 0-50 μm or 0-100 μm. Consider compliance with standards by choosing an instrument with a metrological verification certificate. The operating environment determines whether corrosion-resistant design is necessary.

Selection of laboratory grinders is based on the fineness requirements of coatings, choosing between ball mills or sand mills.
The selection of a laboratory grinder should be based on the fineness requirements of the coating. A fineness greater than 50 microns indicates coarse dispersion, 10 to 50 microns is considered medium fineness, and less than 10 microns requires high fineness dispersion.
Mill Selection: Grinding Media and Material Fineness Targets
This article introduces how to select appropriate grinding media based on material characteristics and target fineness during the selection of a grinder.
How to Match the Selection of Fineness Gauge with Grinding Process Requirements
The fineness gauge is used to measure the particle dispersion of materials such as slurries and coatings, reflecting the particle size distribution through the depth of grooves on its surface.
Operating Specifications and Result Interpretation of Paint Fineness Gauges
The fineness gauge is used to measure the dispersion of particles in paint. During operation, the sample should be applied to the groove under standard conditions, and a scraper is used to spread it evenly to form a wet film. The particle visibility is then observed under appropriate lighting, and the fineness value is read from the corresponding scale.
Blue-style grinder achieves efficient grinding of ink fineness.
The basket mill is a type of wet grinding equipment used in fine chemical fields such as ink production. It utilizes a high-speed rotating impeller to drive grinding media, generating shear and impact forces on the slurry, thereby dispersing pigment particles and reducing their fineness.
Ink fineness gauge measures the dispersion degree of pigment particles.
The fineness of grind gauge is a method used to evaluate the dispersion level of pigment particles in ink.

Scraper Fineness Gauge for Determining the Fineness of Paste Inks
The Scraper Fineness Gauge is used to measure the dispersion degree of pigment particles in products such as paste inks. Its principle involves scraping a film on a scraper plate with wedge-shaped grooves and observing the scale at which particles appear to assess the fineness, with the result expressed in micrometers.
An article tells you how to choose a fineness gauge.
This article introduces how to select and use a grind gauge. It is a tool for measuring particle size in coatings and inks. When selecting one, the first step is to choose the appropriate range based on the estimated fineness of the sample (commonly 0-50 µm or 0-100 µm).
