Scratch Adhesion Tester NOVOTEST C1-M
$3,500.00The device determines the adhesion and scratch resistance of coatings by using a cutting unit with interchangeable indenter tips that apply a controlled load, allowing for assessment of the coating’s resistance from superficial marks to complete destruction based on modern quality standards for mechanical resistance.
-
Scratch Hardness Coating Tester NOVOTEST TPP-1518
$250.00Scratch hardness coating tester measures the hardness of various coatings by assessing their resistance to indentation from a 1 mm ball tip, and can be used on uneven or curved surfaces; it is lightweight, portable, and allows users to adjust the load force by changing spring tension.
-
Pencil Coating Hardness Tester NOVOTEST TPK-1
$250.00The instrument tests the hardness of powder and liquid paint coatings using sharpened pencil leads at a 90° angle, starting with the softest leads and increasing hardness until damage appears; the hardest lead that leaves no marks indicates the coating’s hardness value (e.g., 3H, 2H, H, HB, B, 2B, etc.).
-
Buchholz Coating Hardness Tester NOVOTEST TB-1
$250.00The Buchholz coating hardness tester measures coating hardness through an indentation method using a 500g stainless steel disc, with the indentation length measured after 30 seconds using a microscope to provide results in Buchholz indentation resistance units.
-
Erichsen Cupping Tester NOVOTEST ShE-1
$1,300.00The Erichsen stamp measures the elasticity and strength of coatings by indenting a 20 mm diameter spherical tip into a coated sample secured in a 27 mm diameter matrix, providing an effective assessment of the coating’s quality, adhesion, and elasticity.
-
Impact Tester NOVOTEST STRIKE UNIVERSAL
$1,450.00The impact tester features a multipurpose design with a stand, clamping device, and customizable impact devices (striker, clutch, and anvil) that meet various standards, allowing for testing across multiple standards.
-
Pipe Impact Tester NOVOTEST STRIKE U1-4219
$1,100.00Impact tester is intended for testing the strength of coatings upon impact on pipelines during their installation and operation. Device allows testing directly on the pipeline and does not require the manufacture of samples.
-
Impact Tester NOVOTEST STRIKE-U30630
$2,000.00The device NOVOTEST IMPACT COATING STRENGTH Tester is used to check the resistance of technical products to external factors during operation (such as punching, impacts), as well as verification of manufacturer’s specifications.
-
Bending Coating Tester NOVOTEST BEND ShG
$350.00The instrument evaluates the elasticity and flexural strength of coatings by bending the sample around cylindrical rods with diameters ranging from 1 mm to 20 mm, determining the smallest rod diameter that doesn’t cause mechanical damage or delamination of the coating.
-
Bending Coating Tester NOVOTEST BEND ShG-2
$350.00The instrument measures the elasticity and flexural strength of coatings by bending the sample around cylindrical rods with diameters ranging from 6 mm to 25 mm, determining the smallest rod diameter that avoids mechanical damage or delamination of the paint film.
-
Bending Coating Tester Cylindrical NOVOTEST BEND IR
$900.00The device measures the elasticity and strength of coatings by bending a coated metal plate around cylindrical rods ranging from 2 mm to 32 mm in diameter, determining the smallest rod diameter that prevents mechanical damage or delamination.
-
Bending Coating Tester Conical NOVOTEST BEND IK
$900.00The device measures the elasticity and strength of coatings by bending a coated metal plate around a conical mandrel using a roller on a hand-operated lever, determining the minimum mandrel diameter at which the coating starts to crack, as indicated on a scale (3-37 mm) on the sample clamp.
Ensuring the durability and reliability of coatings is essential across various industries, from automotive to construction. To achieve this, specialized equipment is employed to assess the strength and hardness of these protective layers. NOVOTEST offers a comprehensive range of instruments designed for such evaluations, ensuring that coatings meet the highest standards of quality and performance.
Scratch Adhesion and Hardness Testers
Evaluating a coating's resistance to scratches and its adhesion properties is crucial for determining its durability. NOVOTEST provides several instruments tailored for these assessments:- Scratch Adhesion Tester NOVOTEST C1-M: This device determines the adhesion and scratch resistance of coatings by utilizing a cutting unit with interchangeable indenter tips that apply a controlled load. It allows for the assessment of the coating’s resistance, from superficial marks to complete destruction, based on modern quality standards for mechanical resistance.
- Scratch Hardness Coating Tester NOVOTEST TPP-1518: Designed to measure the hardness of various coatings, this tester assesses their resistance to indentation from a 1 mm ball tip. It is suitable for use on uneven or curved surfaces, is lightweight, portable, and allows users to adjust the load force by changing spring tension.
- Pencil Coating Hardness Tester NOVOTEST TPK-1: This instrument tests the hardness of powder and liquid paint coatings using sharpened pencil leads at a 90° angle. Starting with the softest leads and increasing hardness until damage appears, the hardest lead that leaves no marks indicates the coating’s hardness value (e.g., 3H, 2H, H, HB, B, 2B, etc.).
- Buchholz Coating Hardness Tester NOVOTEST TB-1: This tester measures coating hardness through an indentation method using a 500g stainless steel disc. The indentation length is measured after 30 seconds using a microscope to provide results in Buchholz indentation resistance units.
Impact Resistance Testers
Assessing a coating's ability to withstand sudden impacts is vital, especially in environments where physical shocks are common. NOVOTEST offers specialized equipment for this purpose:- Impact Tester NOVOTEST STRIKE UNIVERSAL: Featuring a multipurpose design with a stand, clamping device, and customizable impact devices (striker, clutch, and anvil), this tester meets various standards, allowing for testing across multiple scenarios.
- Pipe Impact Tester NOVOTEST STRIKE U1-4219: Intended for testing the strength of coatings upon impact on pipelines during their installation and operation, this device allows testing directly on the pipeline without requiring the manufacture of samples.
- Impact Tester NOVOTEST STRIKE-U30630: This device is used to check the resistance of technical products to external factors during operation (such as punching, impacts), as well as verification of manufacturer’s specifications.
Bending and Flexibility Testers
The flexibility and elasticity of coatings are critical for applications where substrates may undergo deformation. NOVOTEST provides instruments to evaluate these properties:- Bending Coating Tester NOVOTEST BEND ShG: This instrument evaluates the elasticity and flexural strength of coatings by bending the sample around cylindrical rods with diameters ranging from 1 mm to 20 mm. It determines the smallest rod diameter that doesn’t cause mechanical damage or delamination of the coating.
- Bending Coating Tester NOVOTEST BEND ShG-2: Similar to the ShG model, this tester measures the elasticity and flexural strength of coatings by bending the sample around cylindrical rods with diameters ranging from 6 mm to 25 mm, determining the smallest rod diameter that avoids mechanical damage or delamination of the paint film.
