Instrument Features:
The Parker Print-Surf is a microprocessor-controlled instrument designed for high-speed, precision measurements of paper surface roughness. It simulates printing conditions by clamping the specimen between a measuring head and a backing assembly, measuring airflow resistance, and converting it to a roughness value in micrometers. The instrument offers extended clamp pressure and measurement capabilities, with a dual-head option for increased efficiency.
