Stackability
Internal Stress

In mass production of coated items, it is necessary to establish how the coating's characteristics and appearance will change under pressure and at different temperatures - Stackability.

During the coating's drying phase or when a coating is placed into service, temperature and humidity variations can cause 'hygrothermal' stresses which impair the coating's durability.

Elcometer 8400 Heated Press

Elcometer 8400 Heated Press

The Elcometer 8400 Heated Press is designed for determining the stackability of coated metal sheets or tiles. The Elcometer 8400 is made up of two horizontal parallel plates mounted onto a frame. The upper plate is mobile and can apply a pressing force up to 30,000 Newtons (6,744 pound force) against the samples – simulating the effect of stacking. Conforms to ISO, EN, DIN, NF
Elcometer 8300 CoRI Stress Meter

Elcometer 8300 CoRI Stress Meter

The Elcometer 8300 CoRI Stress Meter is developed in conjunction with the Coatings Research Institute (CoRI), the Elcometer 8300 has been developed to measure internal stresses in organic coatings, not only during the drying phase but also when a coating is in service where temperature and humidity variations can cause hygrothermal stresses and impair its durability.
