Keane-Tator Surface Profile Comparator Gauge

Benefits

• Allows for quick, reliable comparison of blasted surfaces with standardised roughness levels.
• Compact and rugged for field use.
• Conforms to ASTM D4417.
• Ensures consistent preparation before coating.
• Five different grades of roughness in each comparator.
• Includes a 5X magnifier and vinyl case.

How Does The Surface Profile Comparator Work?

Visual Method:

1. Place the disc beneath the magnifier.
2. Position the magnifier on the blast-cleaned surface.
3. Visually compare the surface texture with the disc’s segments.
4. Use the “V” markers between sections for greater accuracy.

Tactile Method:

1. Touch the blasted surface with your fingertip or a soft wooden pencil.
2. Compare the tactile feel with the disc segments to determine the profile depth.

What’s Included?

• High-purity nickel electroformed reference disc.
• 5X illuminated magnifier for detailed inspection.
• Vinyl case for protection and portability.

Each reference disc is a precise copy of a master disc, duplicated within ±50 microinches, and is available for sand (S), shot (SH), or grit/slag (G/S) blasted surfaces.
