Paul N. Gardner USA – worldwide distributors, producers, and designers of physical and inspection instruments for the paint, coatings, and related industries recently introduced a new physical test depth gauge for measuring the thickness of open and closed cell foam.
This gauge allows commercial roofing contractors and spray polyurethane applicators to test the depth of the foam quickly and easily while being applied on a roof substrate. They are also designed for measuring the depth of fireproofing (SFRM - spray fire resistive material) to ensure consistent depth from one area to another.
Constructed of sturdy plastic and weighing only one pound, this gauge can read depths up to 5 ¾-inches. It has an easily adjustable stainless-steel pin and easy to read numbers.

Paul N. Gardner USA, global distributors, producers, and designers of quality physical and inspection instruments for the paint, coatings, and related industries, has introduced a new offering: The compact, portable Sling Psychrometer.
As an easy way to measure relative humidity levels quickly, this uniquely compact Bacharach Sling Psychrometer accurately determines per cent relative humidity without the necessity of consulting complex tables. There is no need to wet the wick each time a reading is taken, and it contains a slide rule calculator which correlates wet and dry bulb thermometer indications for direct reading of relative humidity. When not in use, the thermometer case telescopes into the handle for protection.
The Sling Psychrometer consists of two thermometers that are turned by vigorously swinging the handle and exposing the thermometers to rapid air movement. These two thermometers are called dry bulb and wet bulb. The bulb of one thermometer is placed in direct contact with the room air to measure dry-bulb air temperature. The bulb of the other thermometer is covered with a silk or muslin sleeve that is kept moist to record the wet bulb temperature. Evaporation cools the wet bulb more than the dry bulb, and the humidity is obtained as a function of change in temperature. The atmospheric humidity is determined by calculations, steam tables, or using a psychrometric chart. Gardco.com
