ABSTRACT
Transfer efficiency is a measurement that quantifies how much of the coating material applied actually goes on the part coated. In an effort to measure transfer efficiency, great care, accuracy, and attention must be given to detail and procedure. Fluid flow is a measurement of how much material is flowing per applicator in a given amount of time. Typically, fluid flow rate is identified in cubic centimeters per minute or ounces per minute. In an effort to have a repeatable process, the manufacturer must monitor and/or control the fluid delivery system. Converting “gram” Weight: Some manufacturer track their usage using grams per square foot or part. In most cases, the gram weight will need to be converted to “cc’s”. This can be accomplished by using the specific gravity. Specific gravity is a measure of grams per cc.
