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.
