Paint Scraper Fineness Plate

The paint fineness gauge measures the particle size distribution of pigments or impurities in coatings by scraping a sample on a grooved plate with scales and observing where particles become visible. It is used for quality control in paint production to ensure the smoothness and hiding power of the coating film.
Selection
Select the groove range based on the viscosity of the coating to be tested. For conventional coatings, choose 0-50 μm; for high fineness, choose 0-25 μm. Stainless steel is the preferred material, and the testing standards should align with ASTM D1210 or GB/T 6753.1. The plate surface should be marked with hardness indicators and used in conjunction with a standard scraper.
