Elcometer hygrometers have been specifically designed for use in very hot climates where the surface temperature of the substrate can exceed the paint manufacturer's recommend limits for successful painting.
Painting outside recommended limits can have a detrimental affect on the performance and lifetime of the coating. The Elcometer 308 Hygrometer provides a simple and fast measurement of relative humidity and surface temperature.
This rugged dew point meter is designed to measure and record all relevant climatic parameters required to determine whether the conditions are suitable for painting. The Elcometer 319 dew point meter can be used as a hand-held gauge or a stand alone data logger - ideal for monitoring climatic conditions over a period of time.
With its multi-lingual, large and easy to use illuminated display, users can record climatic parameters and store 25,000 records in up to 999 batches.
There is no need to sift through tables or measure using a dew point calculator. Take advantage of the USB and Bluetooth data output technology, and see how much on-the-job efficiency increases.
Before painting it is necessary to check that the climatic conditions are suitable for the coating being applied. These are clearly specified on the paint manufacturer's product data sheet.
Surface temperature (Ts) and Relative Humidity (%RH) are two key climatic values which are specified on many data sheets.
