PocketGoniometers: PG-1,
PG-2 & PG-3
The PocketGoniometer family consists of three
different models with varying degrees of
automation. All three provide a means of
measuring contact angle by placing a drop of
liquid on the material surface and observing the
resulting contact angle. They are used for
laboratory and field applications related to
gluing, printing and surface problems and are
ideal for checking contamination of a specimen
and the effects from cleaning and surface
treatments.
PG-1 The PG-1 is a battery-operated instrument
for manual measurements of static contact
angles. The magnified image of the droplet is
displayed on a screen. A reading is made by
rotating the protractor until the lines are
parallel to the tangent at the base of the
droplet.
PG-2 The PG-2 is an automated instrument with a
built-in camera that captures 15 images during
the first second. After the first second, images
are captured at a decreasing rate. This approach
ensures the capture of a high-level of detail,
critical in the beginning of the test, while
keeping the volume of data to a minimum. The
unit connects to a PC through a USB interface
port and the included software program provides
automated analysis. The PG-2 utilizes a manual
dispensing unit for applying the droplet to the
surface of the sample.
PG«3 The PG-3 is identical to the PG-2 with the
addition of an integrated micro-pump which
delivers accurate droplets to the surface of the
sample.

The JDC is recognized worldwide as the accepted standard for
preparing samples of paper, metal foils, nonwovens, films,
tissue and a variety of other materials. Lightweight and
portable, the JDC can be anchored via the cast iron base for
added stability and operator safety. The positive cutting
action of the dual blades and precision ground base shear
cut both sides of the sample at once for a clean, accurate
cut every time.

4340 Smoothness ft Air Permeability Tester
The Model 4340 Automatic Densometer & Smoothness
Tester measures the porosity, air permeability
or air resistance of sheet-like materials. It
combines the abilities of a low, standard, and
high pressure tester with a digital timer that
provides a reading in seconds.
An auto-drive mechanism enables you to program
the number of tests as well as the span they are
tested over. Therefore, a sheet or strip of
paper can be analyzed automatically.

2100 Opacity Tester
The Model 2100 measures the opacity of plastic,
paper and glass products. It exceeds the
instrument specifications of TAPPI T-425 in
terms of resolution at the high end of the
scale, absolute accuracy at the low end of the
scale, photometric linearity, and day-to-day
repeatability. The Model 2100 also offers better
resolution for high opacity paper by using
direct illumination geometry backed by a
high-reflectivity, diffuse white body compared
to diffuse illumination backed by a pad of
paper.

AccuTack™ Electronic Inkometer
The AccuTack Inkometer features advanced
microprocessor control to provide a quick and
accurate method for testing ink tack. Ideal for
research and development, quality control and
process evaluation, the AccuTack simulates the
dynamic conditions that occur in the printing
process. It measures the integrated forces
involved in ink film splitting and the effects
of speed, film thickness, temperature and
solvent evaporation.
Simplified Testing. The advanced user interface
simplifies the test process. The operator uses
the touch-screen to select the required test
method, applies the ink to the distribution
roller and presses the "RUN TEST" button. Test
speeds are predetermined and can range between
150 RPM up to 4000 RPM. Test parameters of the
current test are continually updated on the
built-in screen and the operator can alternate
between these and a real-time curve of the test.
At the completion of the test, tack results are
displayed in gram-meters, printed, and output to
a PC through the RS-232 PC interface. An average
curve can also be recalled for comparison of the
current sample.
Top
Ink Rub Tester
The Ink Rub tester
evaluates the rubbing or scuffing resistance of
printed or coated surfaces by simulating
abrasion damage encountered during shipment,
storage, handling and end use. It is ideally
suited to test the rub resistance of inks used
on packaging film, labejs, folding cartons,
corrugated boxes, and other packaging material.
