If you are a professional working in the paints and coatings industry, you want to ensure that the work is done using a quality paint finish. But how do you know if the paint has been applied correctly and with enough strength to prevent peeling, cracking, and fading? To help answer this question and others like it regularly faced by professionals, BYK gloss meters are developed. These meters offer an easy way for people to test and assess paint products for their quality as well as provide real-time feedback on aspects such as gloss level and coverage. Byk gloss meter  are devices that consist of a small box like design, a display around it, and the measuring mechanism. The display has a digital read-out of the gloss value and gives an indication of how thick or thin the paint is and if it has been applied correctly. There are several different types of gloss meters for different surfaces on which paint can be applied. The various devices measure gloss differently using either a r...

If you work with metal, knowing how to determine the hardness of it is not just invaluable—it can also save you a lot of headaches. Buying an expensive piece of equipment at a local science supply store and then reading about actually using it on the internet is not exactly practical when you're working with something this delicate on a daily basis. Luckily, we've made things much easier for you by scouring the web for some great resources that provide information about various models and their uses. What to look for when buying a portable metal hardness tester The need for purchasing a tool that tests the hardness of metals is as diverse as the uses of different metals in general. For instance, if you're a jeweler, then you definitely need to test the hardness of precious stones before you craft them into raw gemstones. On the other hand, if you work with metal pipes and industrial parts of any kind, then knowing how strong and durable these components are is absolutely es...

A  paint meter  is a measurement device that measures the thickness of the coating of paint or other material on any object. The measurements are taken in mils (thousandths of an inch) and can be used to calculate how much primer, sealer, tinting color, etc., you need to complete your desired finish.                             In the paint industry in particular, it is always necessary to know how much paint you need to complete a painting or artwork. The old way of doing this was to use a paint bucket with an attached roller or brush. You would dip the brush into the bucket and dip the tip of your brush into the coating material before applying it to your canvas or paper. This process is still used today, although more modern methods such as small paint tester sticks have been developed to make this job faster and easier. A common problem that beginners often have is that they do not always understand how ...

While most people know that a diamond is the hardest substance on Earth, this knowledge can be difficult to do anything with. There are certain surfaces and materials that are harder than diamonds but aren't as commonplace. Some companies have taken it upon themselves to make equipment designed to test these surfaces for hardness, which can help understand why some things wore down so quickly or didn't break. There's no shortage of ways to measure hardness in the lab, but a portable Rockwell hardness tester would be more practical for use at home or in a classroom setting. Rockwell hardness testers are used to compare materials for their relative hardness, in which the material being tested is pressed into a hardened steel anvil. This is traditionally done using a diamond point, which is profiled using a Vickers test. These portable metal hardness testers are designed so anyone can use them, even if they aren't familiar with the language or terms used ...
