About this product

The BEVS Drying Time Recorder is used for the test of drying time or gel behaviour of a variety of paints and coatings. The BEVS Drying Time Recorder has the characteristics of intuition and good reproducibility, and can accurately evaluate in all stages. The initiative design of touch screen control, customised user-defined start time and test time, make the operation more intuitive, simple.

Mechanical drying time recorders that trace a stylus through a wet coating film to show each stage of drying.BEVS

BEVS 1813 / 1815 Drying Time Recorder

SKU · BEVS 1815, BEVS 1813, BEVS 1813S

BEVS Drying Time Recorders test the drying time or gel behaviour of paints and coatings to ASTM D5895 and ISO 9117-4. A stylus travels along a coated glass strip over the set test time, and the track it leaves shows each stage of drying. Three models: the 10-track BEVS 1815 and the 6-track BEVS 1813 and 1813S, all with touchscreen control.

  • BEVS 1815, 10 tracks. Drying time of 6, 12, 24 or 48 hours, selectable. Custom Track (Track 1): besides standard time, users can customise the start and test times. Mid-Test Reset: during the test, users can interrupt a track test as needed.
  • BEVS 1813, 6 tracks with drawdown. 1 minute to 24 hours, start and test times can be set independently for each of the three control modules. Can be used with glass strip and a BEVS 1805/1 cube applicator for drawdown; after drawdown, reset the instrument and start the drying time test.
  • BEVS 1813S, 6 tracks. Drying time of 1 minute to 240 hours, with auto reset.
  • Result judging. The BEVS 1815 is read via the time scale. The BEVS 1813 and 1813S directly display the measurement time at specified positions.
  • Optional vision system. The BEVS 1813 and 1813S can be used with the BEVS 1813-P01 vision system to automatically record and identify each track.
  • Touchscreen control. User-defined start time and test time are set from the touchscreen.
