September 21, 2024

Paul N. Gardner USA (Gardco) announced two new custom Gardco mobile apps to enhance efficiency and precision.

The two new innovative tools are designed to simplify calculations and enhance precision for professionals across various industries. James Fusco, Product Manager for the Paul Gardner Company stated, “These mobile applications feature user-friendly interfaces, real-time data access, and time-saving functions, making it easier than ever to perform complex calculations on the go." Ideal for professionals in manufacturing, HVAC, material science, and more, both apps ensure accuracy and efficiency while minimizing time and reducing errors.

Gardco Viscosity Calculator App  (Formerly the Insta Visc App)

Designed specifically for those who need to quickly and accurately calculate kinematic viscosity or drain time, the Gardco Viscosity Calculator App eliminates the guesswork in determining fluid behavior under various conditions. Whether users are working with paints, coatings, or other viscous materials, this app makes it easy to input variables such as drain time or viscosity along with choice of cup and the app automatically populates the remaining variable. The app’s intuitive interface simplifies complex calculations eliminating the need for manual tables or spreadsheets. The Viscosity Calculator App is particularly useful in quality control environments, research labs, and production settings where precision is critical. Whether you are evaluating batch consistency or fine-tuning product formulations, this tool delivers with the most accurate data right to your fingertips. 

  • Easy to use desktop and mobile versions available
  • Fast and Efficient, saves time and money
  • Data for 50+ viscosity cups to choose from

Gardco Psychrometric Calculator App

The Gardco Psychrometric Calculator App makes it easy to calculate the inter-relationship of air temperature and moisture content with dew point and wet bulb temperature, as measured by a psychrometric thermometer. In the paint and coatings industry, understanding psychrometric conditions is crucial, as humidity and dew point directly impact paint application quality. Simply fill in the dry bulb field and either the wet bulb or dew point field, and the app will instantly calculate the remaining value. Its simple interface ensures that even complex calculations are accessible to all users, making it an essential tool for fieldwork and quick decision-making, reducing the margin for error.

  • Simple and easy-to-use
  • Fast and accurate calculations
  • Desktop and Mobile versions available

Where to Get the Apps

Both the Gardco Viscosity Calculator and Psychrometric Calculator apps are available for download now on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Search for "Gardco Viscosity Calculator" or "Gardco Psychrometric Calculator" to start improving your workflow and streamline essential calculations today.

More information and links to the desktop versions can be found on the app’s prospective product pages:

  • Gardco Viscosity Calculator App: (https://www.gardco.com/Products/Viscometers/Viscosity-Cups/EZ%E2%84%A2-Zahn-Viscosity-Cups/c/p-64461) Works with all Gardco and BYK cups.
