ENAMEL RATING GAUGE
IS810 ENAMELPRO™
The IS810 EnamelPro™ Enamel Rating Gauge is Innosen’s next generation semi-automatic system – higher resolution, smarter pre-test checks, and on-board defect localization.
The widest enamel rating capability in the market — ends, caps, cans, tubes, capsules, foils and flat sheets.
The IS810 EnamelPro™ is Innosen’s semi-automatic enamel rating gauge for metal packaging QA. It measures the integrity of the lacquer film inside cans, ends, tubes, capsules, foils and flat sheets using interchangeable fixtures. Annual calibration is performed on site, and every reading logs in real time to IS1100 Innolytix® data management.
A microscopic pore in a lacquer film doesn’t look like much — until it surfaces as a corrosion claim, a leaker, or a tainted product weeks down the line. The cost of catching it late is always higher than the cost of catching it now.
The IS810 EnamelPro™ addresses this directly: higher-resolution measurement, automatic pre-test contact and electrolyte checks, and reverse-polarity localization that shows an operator exactly where the coating failed. Readings stream live into IS1100 Innolytix®, so a defect found on the floor is already in the quality record.
This isn’t an incremental upgrade — it’s the new standard.
How it works
The gauge measures the electrical integrity of the lacquer film inside a metal container. The container is held in the appropriate fixture, an electrolyte is brought into contact with the coated surface, and a test voltage of between 3 and 30 V is applied. An intact coating insulates almost completely, so only a very small current flows. Pores, cracks, scratches and thin spots expose bare metal and allow more current through, and the gauge reports that current as the enamel rating. Reversing the polarity then makes gas bubble up at the exposed metal itself, turning a number into a located defect.

What is the IS810 EnamelPro™ enamel rating gauge?
The IS810 EnamelPro™ is Innosen’s semi-automatic enamel rating gauge for metal packaging QA. It measures the integrity of the lacquer film inside cans, ends, tubes, capsules, foils and flat sheets, using a range of interchangeable fixtures.
How accurate is the IS810 EnamelPro™?
The IS810 EnamelPro™ measures with linearity better than 1%, across an adjustable 3–30 V test range and a current range up to a full 1 A. Annual calibration is carried out on site, so that accuracy is maintained without the gauge ever leaving your facility.
Innosen’s complete enamel rating line
No one covers more of the canmaking world. Innosen offers the widest enamel rating capability on the market, and it is at its widest on the hardest parts to rate — ends and caps. Between the fixtures below, the IS810 EnamelPro™ rates ends, caps, cones and domes, two-piece, three-piece and aerosol cans, collapsible tubes, aluminium capsules, drums and pails, thin and thick foil, and the rivet area of easy-open ends. If it is made in canmaking, it can be enamel rated.
