ALTANA Film Casting Knife - Manual (Page 3)

2
Description
This instrument consists of an applicator blade
supported by two end plates which help to
contain the sample as it is applied. The blade itself
is adjusted to the desired height by means of two
micrometers located on top of the applicator. A
leaf spring between the micrometers and blade
assures constant pressure and thus contributes to
obtaining accurate and reproducible drawdowns.
The BYK-Gardner Film Casting Knife is available
with micrometers calibrated in English or metric
units, as follows:
1) English units - the minimum division
is one (1) mil or 0.001 inch, and
the resolution to which it can be
positioned is approximately one-half of
a division, or about 0.0005 inch.
2) Metric units - the minimum division is
ten (10) microns or 0.0004 inch,
and the resolution to which it can be
positioned is approximately one - half
of a division or about 0.0002 inch.
