Environmental Monitoring – DPM Probe

The environmental conditions during pre-treatment and application of a coating system are major factors affecting the long-term performance of coatings on steel structures. Dew Point Meters can be used to monitor environmental conditions before, during, and after painting. Ideal for surface preparation as required by ISO 8502-4, an electronic Dew Point Meter determines the likelihood of dew forming on structures which are being painted.

DPM Probe will monitoring the following parameters

Surface Temperature -40 to +80°C ±0.5°C 0.1°C
Air Temperature -40 to +80°C ±0.5°C 0.1°C
Relative Humidity 0-100%RH ±3%RH 0.1%RH

Calculated Parameters

  • Dew Point Temperature
  • Surface minus Dew Point Temperature

Surface Profile – SPG Probe

Steel is often abrasive-blast cleaned or otherwise roughened prior to painting. The peak-to-valley height of the resultant “surface profile” is a critical and determining factor in the performance of applied paint and other protective coatings. A surface profile height that is too low may reduce coating bond strength (adhesion). Too high and the peaks may receive insufficient coverage leading to premature rusting, and often require additional paint (and labor costs to apply it) to cover the anchor profile.

Emerging research over the past 15 years has shown surface profile height is not the only important parameter. Peak density (also known as peak count), the number of peaks in the surface profile per unit area, has been shown to be a strong determinant of coating adhesion and resistance to corrosion. In fact, studies have found that peak density may be a better predictor of coating performance than peak-to-valley height.

Surface profile height can also be relevant for other industries, as a way to quantify the profile height of non-skid surfaces, and to evaluate the Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) prior to applying coatings on concrete.

SPG Probes use a digital depth micrometer fitted with a fine pointed probe to measure and record peak-to-valley surface profile heights in preparation for the application of coatings.
