Elcometer 5500 Circular Ball Type Drying Time Recorder
This simple device uses the principle of distance = speed x time to determine the drying
time of a coating.
A rod with a ball tip is brought into contact with a test piece of fresh paint under a load of
12g (0.42oz) and traces a circumference of 50mm (1.96”).
The drying time is evaluated from the condition of the trace, and measured with a template
with time markings.
