Climatic conditions

TQC SHEEN

Temperature, humidity and related climatic parameters are important to many industrial processes and the application of paint and coatings is no exception to that rule. Measuring and controlling climatic parameters such as relative humidity, air-temperature, dewpoint and moisture is vital to a successful application of high-end coating systems. Incorrect climatic conditions during pre-treatment and application often lead to premature failing.

Dewcheck 4 Series 2 – Dewpoint Meter

High-end industrial sensors combined with sophisticated calibration procedures guarantee the highest accuracy for extreme long terms. Up to 2 years guaranteed!
Standards: ASTM D3276-07, ISO 8502-4

The TQC DewCheck 4 – Dewpoint Meter (DPM)/ Dewmeter is an extremely versatile dewpoint meter to measure and record all climate parameters required to treat surfaces. This easy to use and robust dewmeter conforms to ISO 8502-4 & ASTM D3276-07 and measures the relative humidity (%RH), ambient temperature (Ta) and surface temperature (Ts) and calculates the dewpoint temperature (Td) and the difference between the dewpoint temperature and the surface temperature (ÄT). The difference between the surface temperature and dewpoint temperature indicates the optimal climate conditions for painting. All parameters can be stored in the dew meter’s memory, tagged with a date and time.

For communication between DewCheck 4 dewmeter and a PC the DewCheck dew meter USB cable is standard supplied. To analyze the data the DewCheck 4 comes with the special Ideal Finish Analysis software. This software is the most advanced temperature and humidity monitoring software package for Dew-point Meters available today. It offers user friendly reporting functions for standard production work as well as advanced calculations for in depth analysis of the climate parameters prior to coating. Detailed graphic representations and custom reports help to make the right decisions

Thermo-hygrometer

The TQC Thermo hygrometer is a simple hand-held digital thermo/hygrometer. Temperature and air humidity are displayed simultaneously. Equipped with MIN/MAX memory, °C/°F selection, HOLD function and dew point indication.

The TQC Thermo hygrometer operates 10.000(!) hours on 3 batteries type AAA and switches itself off after 10 min.

ATTENTION HUMIDITY SENSOR The Humidity Sensors housed in these products are susceptible to contamination from pollutants such as solvents and exposure to saturated air and therefore are not covered under the 2 year warranty. Furthermore it is expected that the sensor’s readings will drift by up to 0.5% per year.

Sling Psychrometer

Bacharach type sling Psychrometer for indicating percent relative humidity on the basis of the wet bulb-dry bulb thermometer principle. The plastic case of the instrument is equipped with conversion scale for calculating the percent relative humidity.
Using a Sling Psychrometer
Relative humidity can be measured by an instrument called a hygrometer. The simplest hygrometer – a sling psychrometer – consists of two thermometers mounted together with a handle attached on a chain. One thermometer is ordinary. The other has a cloth wick over its bulb and is called a wet-bulb thermometer.

When a reading is to be taken, the wick is first dipped in water and then the instrument is whirled around. During the whirling, the water evaporates from the wick, cooling the wet-bulb thermometer. Then the temperatures of both thermometers are read.
If the surrounding air is dry, more moisture evaporates from the wick, cooling the wet-bulb thermometer more so there is a greater difference between the temperatures of the two thermometers. If the surrounding air is holding as much moisture as possible – if the relative humidity is 100% – there is no difference between the two temperatures. Meteorologists have worked out charts of these differences for each degree of temperature so that the observer can find relative humidity easily.
Relative Humidity – Temperature in Celsius
The table below can be used to estimate the relative humidity of air if dry and wet bulb temperatures are known.

Dew Point Calculator

The TQC Dew Point calculator is a handy tool to determine dew point temperature based upon the measurements from the sling psychrometer.
