Abstract
A system for deriving quantitative application characteristics of a coating composition or applicator independent of human application variation. The system comprises a test bed, a substrate, a rigid frame, a torque or force sensor coupled to an extender with a coating composition applicator, a controller, and an analyzer. The controller directs the extender to apply the coating composition to the substrate or test bed by moving according to a pre-programmed movement routine. The analyzer uses data recorded from the sensor to determine quantitative application characteristics of the coating composition or applicator.
