FAQ su Multi-angle spectrophotometer
Yes. Ultrasonic coating thickness gauges can pinpoint layers within a multi-coat system. Users can examine the separate thicknesses of a primer, base coat, and clear coat. In contrast, magnetic and eddy current gauges usually measure the overall thickness of the coating.
I metodi di misura del colore comprendono l'approssimazione visiva (contro grafici a colori), la colorimetria (mediante filtri e rilevatori), la spettrofotometria (un'analisi spettrale più dettagliata) e l'analisi dell'immagine tramite computer. Si tratta di metodi di misura del colore che vengono applicati in laboratorio, produzione e valutazione della qualità.
Dopo aver ricevuto NH310/NH300, è necessario eseguire la calibrazione bianca e nera manualmente al primo avvio.
You should not attempt measuring on surfaces that are dirty, oily, or rough, as these surfaces will not provide an accurate reading. Always calibrate the paint thickness tester and make sure to select the proper probe for the substrate as well. Proper execution will bring about consistency as well as trustworthiness to the readings.
Il livello di lucidità non è espresso in percentuale ma in unità di lucidità (GU). In pratica, tuttavia, 100 GU è considerato riflettente al 100%. Per contrastare visivamente, il GU 20-40 è una superficie a bassa lucidità, e 85 o più è quasi il 100% di riflessione specchio.
