BGD 226 Leveling Tester is designed to determine the relative leveling of liquid coating materials before curing in the laboratory. (Coating materials have to eliminate surface defects during drying). It complies with standard NYPC.
It is made of stainless steel with a straight scraper fitted with 5 pairs of notches of increasing depth from 10-160 mils (which equals ~250–4000 μm)
Standards
NYPC ('New York Paint Club')
Technical Specification
Once the drawdown has been made on a horizontal, firm surface, leave the coating to cure. After the coating is dry, measure the thickness at which the pairs of film stripes merge
