The Elcometer 215 Oven Data Logger (part numbers G215---2S and G215---2T) measures and stores the temperature profiles of both the product and the oven during the curing process. During powder coating, parts pass through an oven where the powder melts, flows, gels and cures, and the final performance and appearance depend on reaching the correct temperature for the correct time. Hot or cold spots in the oven, or a product that does not get hot enough, cause coating failures, so recording the actual temperature the part experiences is what proves the cure was right.
The Elcometer 215 Oven Data Logger travels through the oven inside a thermal barrier, with up to six K-type thermocouples reading air and surface temperatures at different points. The measurement range is -200 to 1300 degrees C with a resolution of 0.1 degrees C and accuracy of plus or minus 0.5 degrees C from 5 to 500 degrees C and plus or minus 1.0 degrees C above 500 degrees C. Measuring intervals are adjustable from 8 per second to 1 per hour, and memory holds 260,000 readings or 8 production runs. A quick display shows maximum temperature, a Cure-Index figure and a pass or fail for each probe. The Standard barrier protects the logger at, for example, 100 degrees C for 140 minutes, while the High Temperature barrier with heat sink extends this to 100 degrees C for 340 minutes for longer runs. Results download via USB to ElcoMaster software for reporting.
Used by powder and wet coating lines running batch or conveyor ovens, this model has been superseded by the Elcometer 215 Oven Temperature Profiling System. It is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised Elcometer distributor.

When to use the Elcometer 215 Oven Data Logger
Use the Elcometer 215 Oven Data Logger when you need to record the temperature profile of both the part and the oven through a powder or liquid coating cure, in batch or conveyor ovens. It logs up to six K-type channels at once, stores up to 260,000 readings and gives a quick pass or fail with a Cure-Index figure. It suits QC staff proving products reached the right time at temperature.
- 1Six channels at onceMeasuring up to six temperatures together lets you compare part against oven, or several points across a load, in a single run rather than repeating cures.
- 2Pass or fail at a glanceThe display shows maximum temperature, the Cure-Index figure and pass or fail for each probe, so an operator gets a clear verdict on each cure without interpreting raw curves.
- 3Handles inconsistent thicknessIt is suited to situations where powder coated thickness is inconsistent, helping confirm whether parts that vary still reached cure.
- 4Reports and ElcoMaster outputDirect full-colour printing to any HP printer plus USB output to ElcoMaster give a documented record for quality control and compliance.
