Spring Motor Drive Drying Time Recorder
Article No. 11323
Drying Time Recorder 1Hr Spring Drive
The Drying Time Recorder safely measures oven curing times by utilizing a spring wound motor capable of withstanding temperatures up to 500°F.
The motor is encased in a metal housing supported by three legs. Drying times in the field and laboratory can be made without worry of electrical sparking hazards around low flash point materials. No jumbled electrical cords; no overheating of electrical motors, etc.
Features
An armature extends vertically from the motor shaft and is attached to a horizontal counter balanced arm. At one end of the arm is a teflon ball stylus that extends downward to the surface. At the opposite end of the arm is a counter-weight that can be adjusted to balance the arm. A 12 gram weight is supplied to be mounted on top of the ball stylus shaft. The weight load on the ball can be adjusted by the operator so that results will closely coincide with the finger touch method of determining drying time. A clear plastic template is furnished. The template is placed on the panel after test and overlaid on the circle scribed by the ball into the coating. The template indicates the hours of operation of the recorder at any given point. Transparent 24 Hour Time Template Provided with Instrument.
