TQC Sheen Coating Conveyor Ground Test

Brought to you by TQC Sheen, our paint testing specialist brand, our Coating Conveyor Ground Test is a simple but effective hand-held ground testing device.  

In the powder coating industry, it’s important to ground any metal conveyors you work with before applying electrostatic coatings. Without proper grounding, you’ll find the quality of such coatings can be affected once applied. Improper grounding can lead to an uneven, patchy coating finish that may not be thick enough for purpose.  

Our coating conveyor ground test is specially designed for electrostatic coating applications. It will help you to apply your coatings consistently, with confidence, and at a low cost. 

Easy to use ground testing  

The Coating Conveyor Ground Test uses five clear LED lights to quickly provide you with highly accurate ground testing results. These five LEDs indicate grounding resistance from 10kΩ to 100MΩ.   

The coating conveyor ground test kit

The TQC Sheen Coating Conveyor Ground Test is ideal for use within the automotive and industrial finishing industries. It comes with an ample 120 cm ground cable, attached to strong crocodile clips. The robust ground test device is easy-to-use and clean, plus the long-life battery means that it’s reliable for extended testing periods. 

The coating conveyor ground test process  

To perform a coating conveyor ground test, simply connect the cable to a known good earth point with the crocodile clips supplied. 

You can verify the instrument’s performance by touching the ground clamp with the metal tip of the instrument. You should see one green LED light up when the button is pressed. 

Next, point the ground testing device at the substrate to be painted, touching the bare metal surface. Make sure both the ground clamp and instrument tip are free of dirt, as this may affect the results. 

Now, just press the button and read the results, which are indicated by two green, one yellow and two red lamps. 

Our toolkit of paint testing options

Across the Industrial Physics portfolio of inks and coatings test and measurement devices, we have an instrument for every type of inspection. From drying testing to thickness testing and abrasion testing, our paint testing equipment helps you to carry out a wealth of tests to the most stringent of industry testing standards.  

Check out the TQC Sheen PowderTAG Thickness Analyzing Gauge, designed to measure the thickness of powder coatings in precured and cured status. Our Coatmaster Flex by TQC Sheen is suitable for measuring the thickness of coatings applied to metal, paper, rubber, ceramics, glass, plastic and wood surfaces. 

Then there’s the TQC Sheen PosiTest PC Powder Checker, which measures uncured powder coatings using non-contact ultrasonic technology to predict a cured thickness.   

Be sure to spend some time looking through the full Industrial Physics range of paint testing equipment.  

Applying decades of paint testing knowledge

We’ve been making inks and coatings testing equipment for many years. We like to share our knowledge and experience with our customers and the wider industry. 

Across the knowledgebase section of our website, you’ll find blogs that explore all manner of paint testing subjects. To start off, why not have a look at this article that demonstrates how to perform a viscosity test? Then maybe read this one that investigates the impact of additives in paint and coatings.
