Precision instruments,
used to determine particle size and fineness of grind of many materials
including paints, pigments, inks, coatings, chocolates or other
similar products.
The gauge and
its scraper are made of hardened stainless steeland have one or
two grooves with a graded slope (dependent on the model chosen),
graduated in microns, mils, NS (Hegman) or PCU (North), the gauges
have a tolerance of ±2µm.
Elcometer 2041:
The Basic design of the gauge shows lateral graduations only on
the side of the gauge.
Elcometer 2020:
The Standard Gauge, shows graduations in microns, NS and PCU indicated
on top of the gauge.
