MasterDraw B4626 –
oil-free tube forming lubricant
MASTERDRAW® B4626 was devel-
oped for push pointing, bending
stretch forming and flaring of tubular
products.
The versatile lubricant is usually used
in its neat form (not diluted with water)
but can be diluted for less demanding
jobs.
Typical applications include push
pointing of oil country tubular goods as
well as bending, flaring, pointing and
tapering of copper, aluminium, carbon
steel, stainless steel and titanium type
tubing.
The product is a smooth, tan and
opaque fluid that is soluble in water, so
the residues can be easily cleaned from
the tube following the forming operation.
MasterDraw ® B4626 is formulated
with synthetic and inorganic additives
that are designed to deliver the high
load carrying properties required for
heavy wall carbon steel pipe as well
as for stainless and alloy tube forming
operations. MasterDraw® B4626
does not contain any mineral oil in
the formulation and does not contain
chlorine or sulphur extreme pressure
additives.

Coating thickness inspection
on concrete substrates
THE non-destructive measurement of
dry film thickness on concrete is said
to be more accurate, faster and easier,
thanks to the new Elcometer 500
coating thickness gauge for coatings on
concrete.
With features including ease of use,
robust and ergonomic design, menu-
driven colour display, user-selectable
statistics, memory, USB and Bluetooth
data transfer to PC or mobile devices,
the Elcometer 500 accurately measures
the thickness of dry film on concrete
and other cementitious substrates up to
10mm thick.
The Elcometer 500 is claimed
to be three times faster than other
technologies, providing 60+ readings
per minute in standard mode and over
140 readings per minute in scan mode.
The gauge only displays a reading
when the signal strength indicator goes
green.
The gauges and probes are suitable
for harsh environments, with a dust- and
water-proof design equivalent to IP54,
and field-replaceable probe wear tips.
The user can simply select the coating
material and start measuring: there is no
need to set up gates or range values, or
know the thickness of the coating.
The Elcometer 500 coating thickness
gauge can be used in accordance with
ASTM 06132, SSPC PA9 and ISO 2808.
