Grindometers / Grind Gauge

Manufactured by TQC Sheen, our paint testing specialist brand, they’re also known as fineness of grind gauge and they’re ideal for determining particle and grind sizes. They’re also relied upon for all kinds of paint testing, smoothness testing, pigment testing and sample testing.

Our Grindometers are precision instruments used to determine particle size and fineness of materials.

What is fineness of grind gauge testing?

Fineness of grind testing is essential for paint manufacturers. It’s also relied upon by many end users who inspect the content of their product ingredients during the production process. It’s a simple yet effective way to measure the uniformity of particles contained using a grindometer.

Get into the grindometer groove!

Our grindometers are available in three models: single, double or wide groove. Depending on the selected model there are three different parameters: Microns (µm), Hegman (NS), and North (PCU).

• Double grooves with graded slopes graduated in different parameters: Microns (µm) , Hegman (NS) and North (PCU)
• Single wide groove with the parameters: Microns (µm) , Hegman (NS)
• Single groove with the parameter: Microns (µm)
