Factors affecting measurement uncertainty -ISO 2360
Measurement of coating thickness INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 2360 5 Factors affecting measurement uncertainty 5.1 Coating thickness A measurement uncertainty is inherent in the method. For thin coatings, this measurement uncertainty (in absolute terms) is constant, independent of the coating thickness and, for a single measurement, is at least 0,5μm. For coatings thicker than 25 μm, the uncertainty becomes relative to the thickness and is approximately a constant fraction of that thickness. For measuring coating thicknesses of 5 μm or less,Read More …
Measurement of coating thickness – ISO 2360:2003 -Part 1
Non-conductive coatings on non-magnetic electrically conductive basis materials — Measurement of coating thickness — Amplitude-sensitive eddy current method INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 2360 Third edition 1 Scope This International Standard describes a method for non-destructive measurements of the thickness of non-conductive coatings on non-magnetic, electrically conductive (generally metallic) basis materials, using amplitude-sensitive eddy current instruments. NOTE This method can also be used to measure non-magnetic metallic coatings on non-conductive basis materials. The method is particularly applicable to measurements of the thicknessRead More …
Some new technologies for corona and tribo gun
Equipment manufacturers have tried many different guns and nozzles to optimize the coating process over the years. However, most new technologies are developed to meet the needs of specific market requirements. A corona gun technology that has been used in different forms is the grounding ring or sleeve. This grounding ring is usually located either inside or outside the gun at some distance from the electrode and opposite the product being coated. It can be located on the gun itselfRead More …
Uses of corona and tribo charging technology
Understanding the differences between corona and tribo charging, assists in deciding which technology is best for an application. Each type of charging has typically been used for specific industries. Tribo charging has typically been used in industries which require epoxy powder or products that have intricate shapes. Insulating products such as electrical equipment that only require protective coating are prime users of tribo charging guns. This protective coating is generally;epoxy due to its tough finish. Also, industries such as wireRead More …
Differences Between Tribo and Corona
When evaluating the two type guns for a specific application, there are some fundamental items to take into consideration. The differences between tribo and corona guns are outlined in this Manner. Faradav Cage Effect: Probably the most common reason to consider tribo guns for an application is the ability of the tribo gun to coat products with a high degree of Faraday cage effect areas.(See diagram #4.) Examples of these areas are corners of boxes, fins of radiators, and supportRead More …
Tribo Charging Method – How It Works
The charging of the powder particles in a tribo gun is achieved by the friction of two dissimilar materials coming in contact with one another. (See diagram #2.) In the case of most tribo guns,electrons are stripped from the powder particles as they make contact with the gun wall or tube which is typically made of teflon. This results in the particle giving up electrons which leaves it with a net positive charge. The positively charged powder particle is transportedRead More …
Corona Charging Method-How It Works
In corona charging, a high voltage potential is developed at an electrode located in or near the powder stream. With most corona guns this occurs as the powder exits the gun. (See diagram #l.) An ion field is generated between the electrode and the grounded product. Powder particles passing through this field are bombarded with ions, become charged, and are attracted to the grounded product. The charged powder particles accumulate on the grounded product and are electrostatically retained long enoughRead More …
Coating Korea Exhibition and Tech Seminar Opens in BEXCO, Busan
The 2017 International Coating, Adhesive, and Film Fair(hereafter stated as Coating Korea) is set to open in the BEXCO Exhibition Hall 1 in Busan this coming August 30th to September 1st. Coating Korea is a industry specialized exhibition that showcases the latest technology and products in coating, adhesive, and films, and is the greatest coating exhibition in the nation. The exhibition has opened every March in Songdo Convensia starting from 2010, and the International Coating, Adhesive, and Film Fair, whichRead More …
What the wood furniture manufacturer must know – Powder Coating
We are often asked about the difference between powder coating and traditional liquid coating. Most people are also interested in wanting to know more about the advantages of powder coating, many of which are incomparable to other coatings. Powder coating is solvent-free 100% dry solid powder, and liquid coating needs solvent to keep liquid, so the most obvious difference is that the powder does not require solvents. Powder coating become more interesting due to its advantages. Let’s take a lookRead More …
The application of powder coating for wood furniture is developing rapidly
Powder coating has long been applied to metal substrates. In recent years through the industry’s continuous efforts to reduce the curing temperature, improve spraying technology, Powder coatings have been applied in MDF and other wood. Powder spraying can make the industrial application of wood products to minimize water loss and size changes, while the coating can achieve a higher gloss and bright color effect, meanwhile in the state of the more stringent VOC restrictions on the situation, provides a substituteRead More …
