Direct Reading High Precision Circular Type Standard Gauge For Testing Coil Coatings

These Coil coater gauges have an eccentric disk between two outer disks. This design is slightly different from the Gardco Model "C" wet film gauges that have the eccentric disk in front of the other two disks. (Reference leaflet "Model C Wet Film Thickness Gauge with Optional Handle".) The gauge is in the form of a wheel, the perimeter having three equally spaced disks. The center disk is smaller and eccentric to the outer ones. When the gauge is rolled over a wet film, the center disk will pick up material immediately when contact is made. The reading is taken from the point at which this contact first appears. For this purpose, a calibrated scale is engraved on one side of the gauge so it is possible to read film thickness with an accuracy of 0.0002".

Directions For Use

The gauge is placed on a freshly coated surface at the high range position (6 mils/or 8 mils) and rolled in one direction for one half a revolution. It is then lifted and placed on another area with its high range in contact with the surface. It is then rolled in the opposite direction for one-half a revolution.

Examination of the center disk will show positions at which pick-up has taken place and the scale will show wet film thickness at each point. For clear coatings, dust the center wheel with talc. Blow off talc. Talc will only adhere to wetted portion of disk. Read scale at end of wet point.

Gardco Coil Coater IC type Thickness gauge is rolled over the film and the wet film thickness is read directly from the gauge. Accuracy of 0.0002".

Certification

Coil Coater gauges qualify for certification under MIL-STD-45662A or ANSI/NCSL 2540-1 as applicable. These gauges are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology and conform to ISO 9000 when calibration is certified.

Gage Handle - Now available for the Model C, IC, and Coil Coater Gage

Gage mounted on optional handle.

A brand NEW ergonomic gage handle is now available for use with the Coil Coater gage. It offers a very comfortable precision grip handle that can be quickly and firmly attached to or removed from the gage. It is useful as an aid in aligning the gage on the test surface.

When the gage is used on a moving surface, the handle aids the user to keep his hand at a distance from such surface. It also may prevent the possibliity of dropping the precision instrument onto a costly rotating roller.

The handle is about six inches long and is produced from solid bar stock aluminum. The handle axle is designed to accept all Gardco produced Model C gages, IC gages and Coil Coater gage. The gage is held in place on the handle with one of the gage grips so it is readily removable for cleaning or for reassembly for use of the gage with grips only.
