Elcometer 3000 Clemen Unit
Elcometer 3000 Clemen Unit
Designed to evaluate resistance toscratching. A tool fitted with ahemispherical ball of 1mm diameter(standard) is lowered gradually onto thesurface of the sample and moved 6cm.
Depending on the purpose of the test
and the load applied, varying degrees ofpenetration of the tool into the coating
are observed, from a superficial trace tototal destruction.

Can be used in accordance with:

Elcometer 3000/1 Manual Clemen Unit;
The tool is positioned on the sample,
which is fixed on a sliding platform andmoved manually. Load variable from0 to 2000g.

whatever the load, variable from0 to 5000g, and moves it across thecoating, with automatic start and stop.
The contact of the tool with the metallic
substrate is indicated by a lamp andvoltmeter.

The pendulum hardness tester works on theprinciple of the damping time of a pendulum
oscillating on the sample. The amplitude of theoscillation reduces faster when the sample issoft. The Persoz and König methods differ by
the dimension, time period and amplitude ofthe oscillation.

This simple sclerometer contains a round tip
which is compressed by a spring. The amountof compression on the spring increases theforce as the tip is pressed into the coating - byvarying the force the user can determine thecoating hardness.
