Thank you for your comment. As the Elcometer 319 and Elcometer 116C work in different ways, and the Elcometer 319 has an accuracy statement of ±0.5ºC (±1ºF), it is not uncommon that they produce different results. Also, as you are whirling the Elcometer 116C, while the Elcometer 319 remains static and can be placed on the surface to be painted, typically you will not be measuring the same pocket of air. For more information please contact techsales@elcometer.com or visit www.elcometer.com/contact-us to find your local Elcometer distributor.

Thank you for your comment, The standard you are referring to would be the ISO 8502-4 standard. Unless otherwise agreed, the steel surface temperature should generally be at least 3 °C above the dewpoint when paints are used. If you have any other enquiries, please email support@elcometer.com and they will do their best to help.
