1.1 Climatic conditions
The risk of condensation
forming on surfaces about to
be coated is always present
and is difficult to assess
without suitable instruments.
In particular, it is difficult to
detect condensation on blast
cleaned surfaces.
Surfaces with a temperature
at or below this dewpoint
temperature will be covered
with condensation/moisture.
It is important to take
measurements at regular
intervals and at different
points on the surface.
Factors like sun, shadow,
shape and mass of the
object to be coated can
create unexpected thermal
behaviour on the surface.
The memory in your Elcometer 319 will record
climatic conditions during a coating job.
