Micrometer Adjustable Film Applicator

Wet film applicator with two built-in metric micrometer heads for adjusting the knife blade so that clearances of the blade can be accurately set from 0-8mm in 10 micron (0.01 mm) increments.

Features:

* Stainless steel knife blade with precision ground edge
* Wet film thickness 8mm maximum
* Micrometer head accuracy is ± 10 µm

By using high precision micrometer adjustment, this applicator can be set from zero to 8mm in increments of 10µm. This applicator is ideally suited to research projects where small variations in film thickness need to be evaluated accurately.

The applicator consists of:
• A special anodized aluminium frame to guide the knife blade. The frame has two end sections which serve as hand grips for the operator when drawing down wet films.
• A STAINLESS STEEL knife blade with a precision ground edge. The slides in slots in the end sections which allows vertical adjustments of the blade.
• Two springs attached to the knife-blade and top plate. These exert an upward pressure on the blade and maintain it in contact against the two micrometer spindles to retain gap settings of the blade.
• Two precision made micrometer heads that can easily be set to give film thickness from
0-8mm in increments of 10 microns. The accuracy of the micrometer heads is ± 2 microns.
• Imperial micrometer heads are available if required.
• Complies with ASTM D 823 Practice E
