Before you begin:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Read the safety data sheet and wear appropriate PPE.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Adopt a standardised test procedure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Never use pens that are out of date or where the tip has been contaminated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Always store your test pens at room temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Always conduct your tests in a clean and level test area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Make sure that the fluid in the test pens does not adversely react with the material being tested or soaks into the material and causes the material to swell.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Always conduct your tests at room temperature and never in a very humid environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Always test in at least 3 different locations of the material sample.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Do not touch the area to be tested.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Test in a clean area of the material and never re-test in the same area.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Four easy steps for measurement:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
      \n
    1. Choose a Dyne pen that you believe will be lower than the test sample.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Press the pen tip firmly onto the sample until the tip is saturated with test fluid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Lightly draw the pen over the surface in 3 parallel passes each about 100mm long, disregard the first 2 passes as they are used to flush the pen tip. Evaluate only the 3rd pass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. If the ink remains wetted out on the sample for 3 seconds or more then repeat steps 2 and 3 with the next higher Dyne level pen. If the last ink swathe beads up within 1 second or less repeat steps 2 and 3 with the next lower value of Dyne pen. If the ink swath holds for between 1 and 3 seconds before losing its integrity, then the Dyne level of that pen is close to the value of the material.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
