elcometec inspection equipment Test Charts

Elcometer supplies a wide range of Leneta Test Charts, from plain white to those having different patterns of black and white. Made from naturally bright, non-flourescent white paper, these charts contain no optical brighteners that can affect instrumental colour measurements. Leneta Test Charts are the market standard in today’s coatings industry. Foil Card substrates of steel, aluminium, glass and plastic are also available. Leneta Test Charts are available in boxes & cases. The term “Opacity Chart” refers to charts on which the test pattern is a simple combination of black and white areas,...

Brushout Cards Designed for informal brushout applications, thicker paper is used for the testing of coatings applied with a brush or roller. The paper stock is almost twice the thickness of regular chart paper to give greater rigidity for more convenient handling - nominal thickness 0.5mm (20 mils). Brushout Cards are also used widely for drawdowns and colorimetric measurements. Can be used with the Elcometer 4340 Motorised Film Applicator V_/

These charts employ time-tested, diagonally striped patterns, having a strong visual impact that emphasises variations in film opacity. They are frequently used for hiding power display purposes, by means of drawdowns or brushouts. Spreading Rate Charts (Form 8H) are accurately 0.1 square metres (approximately one square foot) in area, and are used in brushout hiding tests at specified spreading rates as described in ASTM Method D 344.
