Chapter 1 Company Info

BEVS Industrial Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer that specializes in coatings, ink,

painting, resin testing instruments and laboratory whole solution.

We offer the complete and unique products in this field to meet customer's challenging

demands of today and tomorrow, the products are complied with the standards of ISO,

ASTM, DIN, BS, EN etc.

With strong supports and hard work by lots of end-users and worldwide agents, BEVS

become more and more famous in the world and provides more competitive values for our

customers.


Chapter 2 Products Introduction

Paint, coatings and chemical manufactures know that insufficiently or over-ground material

will cause loss of production time, higher costs. People are used to inspect the fineness by

a traditional manual method, it is difficult to observe the fineness result correctly for a same

sample under different operators because the fineness is micron level and causes

difference between true particles and air bubbles or erroneous matter.

With technology innovation and improvement, BEVS developed the advanced Automated

Particle Analyzer which can automatically draw down the sample on the grind gauge,

generating the image by a high resolution camera under the light source, the image is

processed by using a customized software to generate the rating on the touch screen.

BEVS Automated Particle Analyzer can be ensured that repeatability and accuracy for the

testing result, avoiding human errors and greatly improving production efficiency.

3.1 Analysis Parameter Setting

See Figure 3-1, click “System Settings” and get into the interface as Figure 3-2.

Waring: This setting is vital for ensuring the machine working well. Please contact BEVS if

you want to set it.

Click “Confirm” to save the current setting.

Note:

1. Current setting will not come into effect, only click “Reanalyze” will it work. If you want the

measurement result saved, please click “Save it to database”. If it is covered by other test

from the database, it will not be saved.

2. Click “Start measurement” after setting, and it will come into effect and the measurement

result will be saved.

3.1.1 Groove Setting

Only in the case of using a new model grind gauge need change the groove setting.

The setting is to set the pixel coordinate position of grind gauge which is relative to the


picture captured. It will change the valid positon while analyzing. As you see the area in red

rectangle on figure 3-3, its positon and size is up to the groove setting.

Figure 3-3

“Begin groove width” means the starting position of pixel X-Axis.

“Groove Width” is to set a specified number of pixels which stands for the groove width.

Normally it is set smaller for the purpose of avoiding human error.

“Begin groove length” means the starting position of pixel Y-Axis.

“Groove Length” is to set a specified number of pixels which stands for the groove length.

“Groove depth” is the scale of the grind gauge. Please set it according to the grind gauge

you use.

3.1.2 Sharpening

Normally please remain the setting, inappropriate setting will fail identifying the particles.


The setting is for a more accurate measurement result and easier chart view

“Start sharpening” must be opened during analyzing.

“Bright points depth” is to increase the brightness of pixel which is brighter than critical

point.

“Dark points depth” is to decrease the brightness of pixel which is darker than critical point.

Please note reading brightness will be affected by the “depth” under “Free reference”

When “Free reference” opens, the critical point will set automatically which is suitable for

most of paints.

“Critical point” is the reference of judging the brightness and the pixel will be sharpened

according to this setting.

3.1.3 Particle

It is set for identifying the valid particle.

“Min particle pixel”: it is common that there is blister and dust during the measurement.

The software identifies the particle which is smaller than “Min particle pixel” as valid one

and marks it blue.

“Max particle pixel”: software identifies the particle which is bigger than min particle pixel

but also smaller the max particle pixel as invalid spot and marks it green, particle which is

bigger than max particle pixel as plaque.

“Reading brightness” is to set the standard of particle. It will be set automatically in the

mode of “Free reference”.

“Read particle amounts” is the standard of judging the paint’s fineness. The standard ISO

1524 specifies that the number is 3. Please set it practically.


3.2 Region statistics settings

Figure 3-4

Figure 3-5

Click “Setup” on figure 3-4 to get into the interface as figure 3-5, you can set 6 regions to

count.

Note:

1. Current setting will not come into effect, only click “Reanalyze” will it work. If you want the

measurement result saved, please click “Save it to database”. If it is covered by other test

from the database, it will not be saved.

2. Click “Start measurement” after setting, and it will come into effect and the measurement

result will be saved.


3.3 Start a measurement

1. Double click the software.

2. In the case of new paint, please click “System setting” to confirm it is suitable or not. If the

paint was tested before, please choose it from the database.

3. Set the region statistics as requested.

4. Click “Start measurement” and fill in the info on figure 3-6.

5. Follow the steps shown on figure 3-6.

6. Take out the grind gauge and scraper and clean them.

3.4 View paint archives

Click “File ”-> “Coatings file” and you will see the interface as below. Click “Search” and

input name, No., etc. to look up a test.

Open a test result and start measurement with the preset parameters is supported.
