This instrument measures the stress level in the plating solution. >> Randy, As far as I can tell, the source for spiral contractometers now is: Kameras Instruments P.O. Box 399 Garrett Park, MD 20896 Phone 301-946-3210 True, the instruments used to be sold by Allied Kellite Division of Witco. However, MacDermid purchased Allied Kellite in 1994 and some items in the resale business were deleted. The former Allied Kelite technical people in New Hudson, Michigan (1-810-437-1560) gave me the Kameras address for the contractometers. Doesn't the instrument actually measure the stress of electrolessly plated metals to help with adhesion issues, etc.?
