The Elcometer 210 Paint Thermometer (part number G210-1) is a dial thermometer for measuring the temperature of paint. Coatings are formulated to be applied within a defined temperature window: paint that is too cold or too warm changes in viscosity and flow, which affects atomisation, film build and cure, so checking the temperature of the material before application helps avoid a poor finish.
The Elcometer 210 Paint Thermometer is supplied with a clip so it can be hooked over the edge of a paint can, holding it in the liquid for an accurate reading without being held by hand. It covers a scale range of -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C on a 50mm dial, with an overall length of 300mm to reach into a can, and weighs 67g.
It is used by applicators and coatings inspectors checking material conditions before spraying or brushing. This model is discontinued. The Elcometer 210 Paint Thermometer is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised Elcometer distributor.
