Mar Tester acc. to Oesterle Model 435 – ERICHSEN

Optimized B2B Product Overview

The Mar Tester 435 S, developed in collaboration with leading manufacturers of vehicle cockpit scaled indication fittings, represents a pinnacle innovation in adhesion testing and scratch resistance evaluation. This advanced instrument is specifically designed to assess the durability and adherence of colored coatings, such as those found on speedometer dials, to their substrates under the action of a blunt test body with a defined force.

Advanced Design and Functionality

Distinguished by its unique test body movement, the Mar Tester 435 S offers precision testing by sliding laterally, contrasting with the longitudinal scar-producing movement of its predecessor. It caters to a broad spectrum of printed scales, letters, and marking tests, offering manufacturers a versatile tool for comprehensive quality assurance.

Robust Testing Methodology

Equipped with a steel-made test disc and variable force settings ranging from 0 to 20 N, the Model 435 S ensures reliable adhesion and scratch resistance testing across various surfaces. Whether assessing raised inscriptions or evaluating the resilience of coatings against blunt effects, this tester provides accurate, quantifiable results.

Inclusive Delivery Scope

Each unit includes the core Adhesion and Resistance Tester Model 435 S, a steel test disc, three force springs for customized testing, and a carrying case. Additionally, the ERICHSEN SmartPen introduces a new era in mobile scratch hardness testing, enhancing the testing capabilities for on-site and in-lab evaluations.

FAQ - Mar Tester acc. to Oesterle Model 435 – ERICHSEN

What is the Mar Tester 435 S designed for?

The Mar Tester 435 S is designed for adhesion testing and scratch resistance evaluation, specifically targeting the durability of colored coatings on substrates like those found on vehicle cockpit scaled indication fittings. It is an ideal instrument for assessing how these surfaces withstand the action of a blunt test body with a defined force.

What makes the Mar Tester 435 S unique in its testing approach?

Unlike traditional methods that create a longitudinal scar, the Mar Tester 435 S features a unique lateral sliding movement of the test body. This advanced design allows for precise and versatile testing across a broader spectrum of printed scales, letters, and markings, offering comprehensive quality assurance for manufacturers.

What materials and force settings does the Mar Tester 435 S accommodate?

The Mar Tester 435 S is equipped with a steel-made test disc and offers variable force settings ranging from 0 to 20 N. This versatility ensures reliable adhesion and scratch resistance testing across a wide range of surface conditions, including raised inscriptions and diverse coating types.

What items are included in the delivery of the Mar Tester 435 S?

Each unit of the Mar Tester 435 S includes the core Adhesion and Resistance Tester Model 435 S, a steel test disc, three force springs for customized testing operations, and a carrying case. Additionally, it is accompanied by the ERICHSEN SmartPen, further enhancing its capabilities for both on-site and in-lab evaluations.

Is the Mar Tester 435 S manual or automatic?

The Mar Tester 435 S operates through a manual drive mechanism. This allows for precise control over the testing process, catering to specific requirements and ensuring accurate, quantifiable results.

What type of scratch profile does the Mar Tester 435 S create?

The Mar Tester 435 S uses discs made of Edelstahl (stainless steel) to create specific scratch profiles. This material choice is integral to assessing the adhesion and scratch resistance of coatings in a consistent and reliable manner.

How does the ERICHSEN SmartPen enhance the functionality of the Mar Tester 435 S?
