  • Wet Film Applicator
    These precision wet film applicators are used in conjunction with paper charts, hiding power charts, plate glass or any other smooth, flat surfaces. They are simple, accurate experimental or quality control devices that require no adjustments.

    General Instructions
    A small quantity (depending on length and thickness of film required) of the material to be checked is placed on the inside of the channel near the correct opening for the thickness desired. The applicator is then drawn down over the chart or other surface and a uniform thickness of film is produced for observation and test.

    A path with a depth or a clearance of one mil will lay down a film approximately 1/2 mil thick. A latex film will shrink considerably more, so paths of greater depths are required in order to obtain a dry film thick enough to check flexibility and toughness.

    General Uses
    Film thicknesses deposited may vary from 40% to 80% of the actual clearance.

  • THERMOMETERS
    Atkins Digital Thermometer - Designed for T-shirt Printers
    Thermo Probe for Testing Shirt TemperatureThis is the most accurate method of checking ink and shirt temperature in the dryer. Digital readout shows temperature of whatever it is touching. The probe has a long wire, so it can measure the temperature of your shirt as it goes through the dryer. Includes donut probe, long high-temperature wire, case and your first battery.

    The "Donut" Screen Printing Probe is specially designed to meet the needs of today's Screen Printers. The sensor wires are constructed of very fine gauge alloy metals, especially choosen for their temperature-sensing properties. The wires are designed to make direct contact with the ink. Many other temperature measuring devices are capable or reading only the temperature of the air around the silk screened item. The rise and fall of the ink temperature may be significantly different than that of the garment or the surrounding air.

  • MiniTemp Portable Infrared Non-Contact Thermometer
    Fixed Emissivity Infrared ThermometerThe MiniTemp™ IR thermometer—a new way to solve common problems.
    Infrared (IR) thermometers have become the preferred tool for diagnostics and inspection where temperature is an indicator. IR thermometers are valued by professionals in a variety of industries—from industrial maintenance to food service, because they quickly, accurately and safely measure surface temperature! Anywhere that temperature is a factor in process, product quality or diagnostics, a IR thermometer should be close at hand.

    IR thermometers are easy to use, and since they do not contact the object being measured, they are the safest way to measure hot, hard-to-reach, or
    moving parts, while eliminating potential damage and contamination.

    The MiniTemp thermometers incorporate many of the same features found in professional IR thermometers. The MiniTemp thermometer is perfect for auto enthusiasts performing self diagnostics and for those tackling home improvement projects. Use it for spotting costly energy losses around windows and doors, monitoring critical temperatures in kitchen or workshop, or ensuring the environment is comfortable and safe.

    Just pull the trigger! The MiniTemp thermometer shows the temperature in an instant on its large, backlit display. The simple to use MiniTemp thermometer becomes even easier to operate when aiming with the laser point. The MiniTemp thermometer: Smart, Simple, Safe—Convenient!
