The Paint Volume Solids Instrument (PVS™) is a compact and accurate solution designed for the coil coating industry. It measures paint volume solids to precisely predict dry film thickness from wet film data, helping improve coating quality, reduce waste, and optimize production efficiency. Suitable for both industrial and laboratory environments, the system quickly analyzes small paint samples and automatically stores results for reliable process control and future reference.
The Paint Volume Solids Instrument (PVS™) uses advanced non-contact laser sensor technology to measure paint volume changes before and after curing with accuracy better than 0.5%. Designed for the coil coating industry, the system automatically analyzes wet and cured paint samples using intelligent software algorithms, delivering fast, reliable results with simple one-button operation and minimal operator training.
