Colour of HES and it's prefilter

#1

Post by Eax-E » 13 Mar 2011, 22:14

Hello,
I'm looking for the exact RAL code of a HES-lüfter and the prefilter...

I have some ideas : maybe RAL 6022 or 6022 for the ventilator, 6028 for de prefilter ??

Waiting your ideas!

Regards,

Eax-E

Hei

Did you find the right color code for the ventilator and the filter?
Had the ventilator and the filter different color?
I've seen some that are completely black and others that are more brownish in color. Any ideas?

Hi Thomas,

Wow, I couldn't even remember I asked the question... I guess I hadn't found the color codes!
About your second question however, I might be of some help. The paintings were delivered in the form of colored powder. Changing the volume of diluent changes the concentration of powder, and it ends up with different color intensity. I guess the coloration was not the major attention point for the plants working the Fest-Pi.

Thank's for your answer :D
Guess you are right, but I would think it was a standard color on the parts when they came from the factory?
Maybe someone else on the forum has any idea?
Anyway I think RAL 6022, as you mentioned earlier, can be a nice color, so maybe I go for it :)
Have just started working on this HES 2.4...

Note that modern RAL colours are not the same as the ones in the 40's.

Haven't found the official code for the green filters yet but RAL 6015 comes close and that colour is mentioned in German documents. Yellow could be used as primer but most of the time the primer was red.

Thanks Dirk and Erwin

The yellow colour that you see on the filters and ventilator is post war, painted by the Norwegian defence.
I found this filter this morning, and I guess it's the original paint we see here, not unlike RAL 6015 :)

You could take the filter to a local paint shop and let them analyse the paint to get an accurate RAL number. Keep in mind the aging though.

If you do that, post the results here. I'm always interested in RAL colours.

I've just been shopping some paint and it was difficult to find the right color code.
I have unfortunately no RAL code, but a NCS code which is S7010-G10Y.
Hopefully it will not be so bad, I'll post a picture when it is painted :)

The frame is now painted. The color was perhaps not entirely correct, it would perhaps have been
a little more blue in it I think. I am so far satisfied, work continues ...

It's Schutzlufter not a HES.
