1 ABOUT YOUR TESTER
The Elcometer 3000 Clemen Unit is a robust and simple-to-use instrument for
evaluation of the resistance to scratching of a coated surface. The sample can
be metal, wood, glass, plastic or other hard materials.
A tool fitted with a hemispherical ball is lowered gradually onto the surface of
the sample and moved in a straight line a distance of 60 mm (2.4"). The
downward force exerted by the tool onto the surface is adjustable by means of
a sliding weight.
Depending on the purpose of the test and the force applied, varying degrees of
penetration of the tool into the coating are observed, from a superficial trace to
total destruction.
The Elcometer 3000 is available in two versions; the original Manual Clemen
Unit and the Motorised Clemen Unit.
•
Elcometer 3000/1 Manual Clemen Unit. The sample is clamped to a sliding
platform which is moved manually.
•
Elcometer 3000/3 Motorised Clemen Unit. The sample is clamped to a fixed
platform. At the press of a button, the tool is moved across the sample and
stops automatically at the end of its travel. Contact between the tool and a
metallic sample is indicated by a lamp and voltmeter.
