TQC’s Hull Roughness Analyzer has been nominated by Material Performance Magazine for the Corrosion Innovation of the Year Award 2014. Material Performance Magazine is a publication of NACE International.

Rotor blades are exposed to severe environmental conditions. Rain, hail, sand, salty sea water and dirt all gather on the surfaces and lead, especially on blade-leading edges, to soiling and roughening of paint and coating systems.

 RheocalcT software provides fully automated viscosity testing from a dedicated PC when using the new DV3T touch screen rheometer and the new DV2T touch screen viscometer.  

 Designed for use on-site or in the laboratory, the Elcometer 130 Salt Contamination Meter can perform 24 tests per hour.  

 A team of coatings industry experts worked together for as many as 10 years on the testing and adoption of this standard. The methodology in this new cycle applies not only to automotive coating systems with steel and plastic substrates, but can also apply to aircraft coatings as well as coatings for other industries. 

 DV3T touch screen rheometer allows the user to control the temperature of Brookfield TC Series baths or the Brookfield Thermosel System without a PC.  

 A mercury telluride cadmium (MTC) infrared detector is now available for the Rheo­naut module, which pairs rheological analysis from the Thermo Scientific HAAKE MARS rheometer with infrared spectroscopy 

The Ultra/Scan probe for Elcometer 456 coating thickness gauges can be dragged across a coated surface without damaging the probe or the coating

The Nanovea ST400 is used to measure the orange peel result on a paint’s gloss.

ANALYSETTE 22 models offer a measuring range of 0.01-2000 μm, short measuring time, high measurement precision, consistent reproducibility, reliable comparability and user-friendly operation.
