"tqc" holland pressure density cup

Density or specific gravity (sg) is affected by entrapped air bubbles in the liquid under test. The tqc vf2095 sg-cup has a fixed internal volume of 100 ml. Which is to be compressed by the mechanism of the density cup.

After rotation, agitation or dispersion gas and air can be entrapped within the material. Under pressure the air will dissolve better into the liquid and any bubbles that are left undissolved will be compressed to a fraction of their original size. Density of the liquid is defined at a very high level of repeatability by weighing.

The tqc pressure density cup can easily be taken apart to allow easy cleaning.

Standards

 
en iso 2811-4. Look up the appropriate standard for a correct execution of the test. The test may only be carried out if all parts of the pressure density cup have an identic serial number.

Simple and accurate testing of wet film hiding power
Determines thickness needed for complete opacity
Gives estimate of coverage in square metres per litre

The Rhopoint PaintLab+ Cryptometer is a wedge type film applicator, which determines the wet hiding power of a coating within a few minutes.

Features:
Simple and accurate testing of wet film hiding power
Determines thickness needed for complete opacity
Gives estimate of coverage in square metres per litre
Suitable for use with coatings containing pigments
Ideal choice for quality control environment

Cryptometer Design:
The instrument consists of a glass plate, half black half white as the base. Each half of this base has a scale engraved from 0-50mm along one edge starting from the division in the centre. Two glass top plates are included with each instrument and these have two metal supports at one end so that these transparent top plates rest at an angle when placed upon the black and white area of the base plate.

The top plates differ in the length of their tiny supports so that different angles are formed between the top plates and the base plate. A wedge angle constant (K) is given to each top plate. These range from the smallest angle K= .002 to K= .0035, K= .004, K= .007 and the largest K= .008, the popular constants being K= .004 and K= .008.

"TQC" Cureview Thermal Test Centre

Dutch manufacturer TQC designs and produces Field and Laboratory test equipment Measuring Instruments paint , coatings and general surface treatment markets . The R&D department is currently working on a variety of new products. Among those a ViscoThinner and a low voltage pinhole detector. Without doubt the most exciting R& D project is development of the TQC CureView Thermal Test Centre.

Temperature Patterns

The CureView is a flexible oven that allows the user to heat-up test panels on a glass bed to a variety of temperature profiles varying from ambient to about 300°C. Elevated temperatures are virtually instantly generated. The 32 spectral filtered IR halogen heaters can be controlled Individually which enables the user to program any form of temperature template varying from a perfect parabolic shaped gradient, an ascending or descending slope or a number of temperature blocks. Another possibility is to take profiles measured by the CurveX oven logger system, also part of the TQC ThermoKinetic® range and upload these in to the CureView in order to simulate the production process on lab scale.

Automated process

The working platform measures 23.6 x 15.8 x 0.16 inch (600 x 400 x 4 mm) utilizing a Schott Nextrema® glass panel with excellent directional thermal characteristics, and ultra flat and smooth surface profilometry and is completely inert thus easy to clean.

This setup allows the user to prepare the panel outside the test area. After preparation the panel slides automatically into the oven without any vibration.

The finished panel exits the heating area after the process is finished. A unique cooling station rapidly cools the panel down. After cooling, the panel is automatically transported to the working area. This speeds up the process significantly.

A clear glass ceramic cover and built-in led illumination allows the operator to visually witness the entire process. Any fumes or gasses are extracted through an air-extraction system.

Hybrid control unit

The machine is controlled by a special software system able to communicate with Ideal Finish Analysis.
In order to be completely flexible the software can be used in isolation from the CureView control unit Ideal when the machine has to be used in a fume hood.

Thermo Kinetic

The TQC CureView is part of the TQC Thermo Kinetic ® range of products. A new range within our product line which focusses on the effect of temperature on paint related chemistry. This Cure View project runs in close collaboration with a number of global players in the resin and additives industry.
