Handle-type Measuring Rod

The handle-type metering rod controls the transfer amount of coating by forming grooves through stainless steel rods wound with steel wires, and is used for manual coating in the laboratory. During operation, the rod body is pulled to evenly spread the coating retained in the grooves onto the substrate. It is suitable for quantitative coating tests on materials such as paper and films.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the substrate width to the rod length, and choose the groove depth based on the coating thickness requirements, typically ranging from 25 to 200 micrometers. Pay attention to the corrosion resistance of the rod material and the precision of the wire winding, as the handle design affects grip stability. It should also be compatible with common paint viscosities.
