The Elcometer 4695 Display/Spreading Rate Charts employ time-tested, diagonally striped patterns, having a strong visual impact that emphasises variations in film opacity.

They are frequently used for hiding power display purposes, by means of drawdowns or brushouts.

Spreading Rate Charts (Form 8H) are accurately 0.1 square metres (approximately one square foot) in area, and are used in brushout hiding tests at specified spreading rates as described in ASTM Method D 344.
