2 System Description
2.1 Intended Use
The
byko-swing
hardness tester is an instrument to determine the elastic hard-
ness of coatings according to DIN EN ISO 1522 and ASTM D 4366. It consists of a
sample holder where a pendulum freely swings on the sample surface and a
counting device.
The number of swings in a defined angular range is a measure for the elastic hard-
ness of a coating. It is expressed in seconds or number of swings. The number of
swings is detected by light barriers in the lower part of the instrument and is
shown on the display as seconds or swings.
The
byko-swing
offers a fully automatic measurement mode - no manual interac-
tion is required.
