DEVELOPOM..... New Equipment. Processes. and Materials POWDER CARTRIDGE Chcmco Mfg· Co. Inc .. Northbrook. 1II. Chemco Mfg.'s powder cartridge is 100Ch efficient for particles 1 micron and above. The Perma• Clean cartridge uses patented Gore-Tex powder collection tech• nology, which features a conduc• tive, expanded ePTFE membrane over an aluminized polyester sub• strate. The combination results in very low resistance (antistatic) and optimum release properties. Perma-Clean produces minimal powder retention (1-2 lb over en• tire life). Its nonlinting media re• claims powder that is uncontami• nated, and eliminates the need for seasoning or preconditioning. Circle 401 on the reader service card COATING THICKNESS MEASUREMENT Fischer TechnoloJ.fy Inc .. Windl>or. COIlIl. The Dualscope MP20 measures coating thickness using both the magnetic induction and the eddy current test methods. The MP20 is a versatile solution for users who need to measure on f('rrous and nonferrous substrates. The - December 2000 hand-held units allow the user to interchange a wide variety of Fi• scher Smart Probes for different applications. The MD20 features a large, easy-to-read LCD display, full statistical evaluation of mea• surement series, continuous mea• surement data display to quickly determine coating thickness dis• tribution by means of a surface scan, simple calibration adjust• ments. and five selectable display languages.
