Question:
I have a special plating project that will require careful monitoring of current densities. I am aware that such devices exist but I can’t seem to find a source. Can you recommend a vendor? B.T.
Answer:
I cannot make specific vendor recommendations in this column but you can find the names of a number of vendors in the PRODUCTS FINISHING DIRECTORY AND TECHNOLOGY GUIDE under Current Density Meters or at www.pfonline.com under Testing Equipment, current density meters. I have also e-mailed you the name of a vendor I am familiar with.
