About Drying Time Recorder

Line Drying Time Recorder

Caltech India offers Line Drying Time Recorder. BGD 261 a versatile Linear Drying Time Recorder to help quantify the various stages of film curing and drying, deliver reproducible results, and guarantee highest efficiency.

The various stages of drying and curing that occur in films are easy to detect but difficult to define in terms of chemical and physical principles. In order to evaluate them correctly, it is necessary to use instrumentation under controlled conditions.

This reliable apparatus to test the drying time or gelation behavior of many paints and coatings, applied onto a glass strip of 30025mm (121) by means of our cube applicator (BGD 203). Hemispherical needles travel on these test tracks, over a selected time 6, 12, 24 and 48h.

The drying time stages can be easily assessed with the graduation scale (according to traverse speed configuration). The total time for every test can be observed from the LCD screen.

Evaporation of solvent: deep pear-shaped impression

Sol-gel transition: continuous track

Surface dry: interrupted track

Final dry time: the needle no longer penetrates the film

Advanced Multi-Track Drying Measurement

Featuring six independent tracks, each with its own 8g sledge needle, the Drying Time Recorder enables simultaneous testing of multiple samples or coatings. Its programmable digital timer and precise track length of 200 mm guarantee consistent and repeatable results, making it indispensable for both research and quality control laboratories.

Robust and Reliable Construction

Constructed from powder-coated steel and aluminum, the device is built for durability and stability. The compact design, comprehensive overload protection, and ambient temperature suitability ensure safe and reliable use in any lab environment.

Versatile Operation Modes

Users can select between auto and manual operation, accommodating varying testing protocols or preferences. The digital/LCD interface allows intuitive programming and monitoring, while the instruments connectivity options suit diverse workflow requirements.

FAQs of Drying Time Recorder:

Q: How does the Drying Time Recorder measure the drying time of coatings?

A: The recorder tracks the progress of each coating sample along individual tracks using sledge needles. Movement occurs over a paper strip, with the programmable digital timer automatically marking start and finish points. This allows accurate measurement of drying durations, useful in compliance with ASTM D5895 and ISO 9117-4 standards.

Q: What types of materials can be tested with this instrument?

A: The Drying Time Recorder is specifically designed for paints, coatings, and similar surface media. Its 200 mm track length and standard 3 mm diameter accommodate most laboratory samples used in research, manufacturing, or quality control.

Q: When should I use the auto versus manual operation mode?

A: Auto mode is ideal for routine or standardized tests that benefit from pre-set timing and minimal operator intervention. Manual mode is recommended when custom timing, direct control, or protocol-specific adjustments are required during testing.

Q: Where can the Drying Time Recorder be utilized?

A: This equipment is suitable for laboratories in industries such as paint and coatings manufacturing, research institutions, and quality assurance departments. Its compact design and ambient operational temperature make it perfect for standard lab environments.

Q: What is the process for conducting a drying time test?

A: To conduct a test, users prepare coating samples, place them on each track, set the operation mode (auto or manual), configure the timer, and initiate the test. The instrument records the drying time as needles travel across the paper strip, with findings displayed digitally or on the LCD interface.

Q: What are the benefits of using a programmable digital timer and multiple tracks?

A: A programmable digital timer improves accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency, while multiple tracks enable simultaneous testing, reducing overall test duration and providing comprehensive data for analysis.
