Hegman Gauge

The Hegman Gauge is a precise tool used to measure the fineness of grind or particle size in a liquid or slurry, such as paint, ink, or coatings. Designed for laboratory and production environments, this instrument ensures consistency in quality by providing accurate, repeatable readings. Its robust and corrosion-resistant construction makes it a reliable choice for professionals in various industries.

Hegman Gauge is an indispensable tool for professionals in industries requiring precise control over the fineness of materials. Its sturdy construction and dual-scale design make it a versatile and user-friendly solution for quality control processes.

Where It’s Used:

• Paint Industry: To measure the fineness of pigment dispersion.
• Ink Manufacturing: Ensures consistent particle size in printing inks.
• Coating Industry: Assesses the grind quality in industrial coatings.
• Cosmetic Industry: Checks particle uniformity in creams and lotions.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Monitors fineness in suspensions and emulsions.

How to Use:

1. Prepare the Sample: Apply the material onto the gauge’s surface.
2. Draw Down the Sample: Use a scraper to evenly spread the material across the scale.
3. Observe the Reading: Note where the material begins to show irregularities or particles.
4. Interpret Results: Use the scale to determine the fineness of grind.
5. Clean the Gauge: Wipe with a clean cloth or solvent to ensure accurate readings for future use.

The Hegman Gauge is a trusted tool for achieving consistent quality in materials requiring precise particle size control. Its robust design and ease of use make it an essential addition to any laboratory or production line.
