From the development of coatings and inks in the laboratory to testing during the production process, quick and precise measurement techniques required for reliable and repeatable results.
Fineness of grind gauges comprise of stainless steel blocks in which either one or two channels are precision ground in a uniformly increasing depth from zero at one end to a specified depth at the other, identified by the scale on the gauge.
Elcometer takes special care in their manufacturing to ensure that the highest level of precision and quality is maintained for all their gauges in order to comply with the requirements of the industries where the grinding process is involved, particularly in the fields of wet paints and powder, varnishes, printing inks and the cosmetics industry.

This precision instrument is used to determine particle size and the fineness of grind of particles in printing inks.The Elcometer 2070 NPIRI gauge and its scraper are made of hardened stainless steel and the gauge has two grooves with a gentle slope. The groove width is 25mm and the groove length is 165mm. The NPIRI scale is displayed alongside the microns scale.
The Elcometer 2050 High Precision Grindometer precision instrument is used to determine particle size and fineness of grind for many materials including paints, pigments, inks, coatings, chocolates and other similar products.The gauge and its scraper are made of hardened stainless steel and are graduated in microns on the top to an accuracy of ±1µm. The groove width is 12mm and the groove length is 200mm. The high precision Grindometer has a single groove.
The Elcometer 2020 & Elcometer 2041 Fineness of Grind Gauges are instruments used to determine the particle size and fineness of grind of many materials including paints, pigments, inks, coatings, chocolates and other similar products.These two channel gauges, together with the scrapers, are made of hardened stainless steel and have two grooves with a graded slope (dependent on the model chosen). Graduated in microns, mils, NS (Hegman) or PCU (North), the gauges have a tolerance of ±2µm. The groove width … Read More
