byko-cut universal Portable instrument providing sufficient accuracy for laboratory use but also usable at construction sites and in workshops. Ideal for customer service technicians and demonstrations. The BYK-Gardner byko-cut is a universal instrument for: ■ Measuring film thickness in the range of 2 - 2000 Μm (1/8 - 80 mils) on every substrate (steel, non-ferrous metal, plastics, wood, etc.) ■ Capable of multi-layer film thickness analysis ■ Adhesion test by means of cross-cut test in accordance with ASTM D 3359; DIN 53 151 ■ Indentation hardness test in accordance with ISO 2815 (Buchholz) ■ Microscopic research for pores, pits, cracks, blisters, flaking, intercoat adhesion of the individual film in coat systems, and quality control of the pretreatment of the substrate Special features: ■ LED illumination ■ Ergonomical design ■ Guiding wheels for smooth cutting ■ Cut finder ASTM DIN ISO NCCA VTLA Ordering Information Technical Specifications Description byko-cut thickness, Metric byko-cut thickness, English byko-cut no cutters, Metric byko-cut no cutters, English Comes complete with: byko-cut universal film gauge Revolving rotary head with 3 cutters for film thickness (# 1-3) Built-in microscope (scale 0 - 2 mm) LED Battery Operation manual Note: Cutters must be ordered separately for Cat.

Destructive Film Thickness Measurement Create a V-shaped cut through the coating down to the substrate and measure width of a' (b'), which is proportional to the thickness a (b). The specially designed blades which are attached to the instrument are used to make a short incision in the film. Then, the depth of the layer is measured with the built-in 50 fold microscope and the film is inspected for flaws. Each of the cutting tips has two bevels which are made to precision with the mentioned slopes (see table). Since the slope of the cut is known, the measurement of the horizontal distance...
