Paint Borer 518

Product catalog summary

Overview
The PAINT BORER 518 S is a universal thickness measuring instrument designed for assessing the thickness of all coatings on any substrate, including individual layers in multi-layer coatings. It utilizes the standardized wedge cut method to calculate layer thickness through a geometrical relationship.

Technical Specifications

Dimensions: 145 x 55 x 110 mm
Net weight: Approximately 850 g
Measuring accuracy: 1%
Rechargeable battery: 6F 22 (6LR 61)
Minimum sample dimensions: 150 x 25 mm without specimen table, 10 x 6 mm with specimen table

Features

Compact design with all components enclosed in a sturdy housing
Drill and microscope mounted on a horizontal slide for ease of use
Spring-mounted drill for minimal force application
Carbide drills with different cutting angles for various measuring ranges
Measuring microscope with 50x magnification and 100-line scale for 1% resolution
Adjustable illumination settings to conserve battery life
Suitable for evaluating elliptical holes on curved specimens

Operation
The operation involves applying a contrast mark, positioning the instrument, drilling through the coating, and using the microscope to measure the scale marks. The measurement is calculated by multiplying the scale marks by a scale factor.

Included Accessories

Drill no. 5
Felt tip pen
Screwdriver
Rechargeable battery (9 V)
Charging unit (230 V, 50 Hz)
Carrying case
Operating instructions

Additional Information
Special applications, such as measuring individual layers in multi-layer systems and curved specimens, are detailed in the operating instructions. The instrument is designed for ease of use and precision in various coating measurement scenarios.
