BYK-Gardner USA announced its New Protective Coating Field Test Kit. The Protective Coatings Field Test Kit provides a complete solution for evaluating the environmental conditions prior to painting, as well as measuring the dry film thickness of the coating after application in accordance with SSPC PA-2. This convenient field test kit includes a dry film thickness gauge, thermo-anemometer, moisture meter, and IR thermometer all in one sturdy carrying case.

byko-test Fe/NFe (3790), Dry Film Thickness Gauge:

  • SSPC specific mode for standardized measurement protocols and calibration routines.

BYK a200 (0450), Thermo-anemometer:

  • Measures air temperature, air velocity, and relative humidity.
  • Can be used outdoors to calculate dew point to help determine the right painting conditions.

BYK t200 (0470), IR Thermometer:

  • Non-contact temperature measurement for indoor and outdoor surface applications.
  • Laser-targeting feature precisely shows the location of the temperature measurement.
  • Backlit display allows for use in poor lighting conditions.

BYK m200 (9109), Moisture Meter:

  • Verifies moisture content and readiness for coating application.
  • Use to determine correct drying/curing of raw materials.
  • Works with most hygroscopic building materials, such as wood, plaster, masonry, gypsum, and concrete.
