Paul N. Gardner (Gardco) USA has launched its new line of precision Gel Timers. The new CE certified Gardner Gel Timers are specifically engineered to determine the gel time of various materials such as resinous plastics, epoxy resins, adhesives, drying oils, FRP, two component elastomers and paints. These gel timers are straightforward, easy to operate and constructed to deliver exceptional accuracy when carrying out gelation tests at room temperature or at elevated temperatures.
James Fusco, Product Manager for the Paul N. Gardner Company said “The new line of Gel Timers offer a great value for the global markets, offering the next level in precision and accuracy along with an intuitive easy to use interface, these next generation Gel Timers are CE compliant come with a universal power supply, cups, and wire stirrers, all at a very affordable price.”
The Gardco gel timers feature an improved interface, digital readout and a wide temperature control that delivers accuracy and reliability. The new line offers two models, the Gardner GT (Standard) and GT-H (Heated) models. They are both CE compliant and come fully equipped with a universal power supply, ten wire stirrers and ten cups.

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
