Paint Film Sag Tester

The sag tester evaluates sag resistance by vertically placing a coated panel and observing the length of the flow marks formed by the paint under gravity. It is used to determine the maximum application thickness of coatings, guide on-site painting process control, and prevent sagging or dripping of the coating.
Selection
When selecting, consider the compatibility between the type of coating to be tested and the standards, ensuring the instrument's range covers common application thicknesses. Verify the precision of the blade gap and confirm that the scale resolution meets the judgment requirements. Assess environmental adaptability to ensure the influence of temperature and humidity is controllable.
