Torque Meters
-
Torque meter is available in two different versions: handheld meters or tabletop meters. Torque meter have a wide range of applications. Handheld torque meter is mainly used for industry while tabletop torque meter is the ideal tool for laboratories. Our Torque meters come with a RS-232 port to transfer torque values to a PC or a portable computer. This is very helpful if you want to save the data and stand the chance to compare what you have measured afterwards. Another possibility is that you aim to do long-term-measurements. There the interface and the software are two very useful features that are given to you.Tabletop torque meters can be equipped with a printer (option). You can also order a ISO calibration certificate as an option. This ensures that the device has been calibrated and works perfectly including a measurement with only small deviances that can still be tolerated and do not influence the product's functions. We can offer you torque meters that can measure up to a maximum measuring value of 500 Nm.

LAN Testers
-
A cable detector can locate open power cables, either live or without current, up to 300 V. A cable detector can locate cables, circuits, short circuits and ground wires. To perform these functions, it is not always necessary to disconnect electrically sensitive devices or to disconnect the power to the cable being tested.Many cable detector devices can also locate ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood and plastic with high degrees of accuracy. A cable detector provides a safe way to test wall sockets for which no electrical plans or wiring information is available about the cables or their output. A cable detector is very versatile, as it ensures speed and safety when making holes in walls, ceilings and floors.

Durometers
-
A durometer gauge or durometer tester is needed to perform a durometer hardness test procedure. Durometer devices determine the surface hardness of many different materials, including polymers and elastomers. Each durometer or hardness tester measures the depth of an indentation in the material caused by a defined force of a given geometric presser foot. The depth of the indentation reflects the hardness of the material. A general distinction is made between static and dynamic methods. In traditional static tests, the test force is applied uniformly with increasing magnitude, while in dynamic testing methods, an instantaneous load is applied.

Viscometers
-
A viscometer, viscosity meter or rheometer is a measuring instrument used to determine a fluid's internal flow resistance or viscosity. The term viscosity typically refers to shear viscosity, i.e., how a material reacts to being sheared. Rotational viscometers with rotating spindles or rotors, also known as "cup and bob" or Searle viscometers, are the most common tools used to measure the shear viscosity of fluids. However, a fluid's viscosity also may be measured on the basis of stretching. The technical term to refer to this is extensional viscosity.A viscometer is frequently used in laboratories, but it also has practical applications in factories and other industrial environments. A viscometer can be an important component in process and quality control. Companies can save money by placing a viscometer in a production line and making fluid viscosity measurements in real time.PCE Instruments offers a variety of handheld, portable, benchtop and in-process, real-time viscometer products that measure the absolute / dynamic (shear) and kinematic viscosity of fluids. Handheld or portable viscosity meter devices allow users to take simple, single-point measurements in the field and in the lab. Benchtop or stationary viscometer devices are complex rheological measuring systems that allow for a more detailed examination of liquid samples.

Absolute Moisture Meters
-
Explore PCE Instruments' absolute moisture meter offerings. Our absolute moisture meter products can measure relative air humidity, while our combination devices can also measure temperature. Each absolute moisture meter measures different ranges of humidity, depending on the model. Relative humidity is an important factor in everything from gardening to transport and industry.Our absolute moisture meter products are versatile, as they can take measurements, store the data to memory and transfer the data to a computer for detailed analysis. Different moisture probes that correspond to the materials to be measured can be connected to each absolute moisture meter. For most of the materials, you will find calibration curves within the internal memory of our absolute moisture meter products. You then only need to select the appropriate calibration curve for the material you wish to measure.

Gauss Meters
-
A gauss meter displays electromagnetic wave measurements in Gauss (G), milliGauss (mG), milliTesla (mT) or microTesla (µT) units. A gauss meter can detect either static (DC) permanent (rare-earth) magnetic or dynamic (AC) electromagnetic fields (EMFs), or both. Thus, it is important to review the specifications of a gauss meter prior to purchase to ensure suitability for the intended application.Neodymium (NdFeB) permanent magnets are among the world's strongest and most widely used magnets. When testing magnets made of neodymium or other rare-earth elements, a gaussmeter or magnetometer capable of measuring DC magnetic fields is required. However, most electromagnetic fields encountered are generated by AC currents. Examples include electrical power lines, transformers and wiring for overhead lighting, solar panels and other electrical devices and equipment. Electromagnetic fields from electrical installations are believed to cause feelings of nervousness, anxiety and paranoia in EMF-sensitive human beings.Most gaussmeters offered by PCE Instruments can be calibrated and certified according to DIN ISO 9000 standards for an additional fee. Replacement gaussmeter probes and optional accessories are available for most gaussmeter models.

Radiation Detectors
-
A radiation detector is a device for measuring nuclear, electromagnetic or light radiation. A nuclear radiation detector identifies nuclear radiation by measuring the emission of ionizing radiation of alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays. Also referred to as a geiger counter, a nuclear radiation detector consists of two main elements: the processing electronics and the geiger tube. The geiger tube is filled with low-pressure inert gas like helium, argon or neon. If radioactive radiation occurs, the inert gas is ionized. An anode within the geiger tube registers the quantity of ionized particles numerically correlating with the strength of the radioactive radiation. The radioactivity measurement is then displayed on the LCD screen of the geiger counter or nuclear radiation detector.

Adhesion Tester
-
An adhesion tester measures the force required to detach a coating from a substrate. Often called a pull-off adhesion tester or peel tester, an adhesion tester applies a large amount of force to evaluate a coating's bond strength. When measuring peel force or adhesiveness, the nature of the substrate's surface plays a significant role. However, a high-quality adhesion tester features a self-aligning measuring head to compensate for any surface irregularities.

The pyrometer is ideal for taking accurate measurements of temperature without contact. Thanks to an optical mechanism, the pyrometer is safe for measuring high temperatures. Its infrared capabilities make the pyrometer the perfect tool to use when a conventional sensor is inadequate. A pyrometer is useful for measuring moving, extremely hot or hard-to-reach objects. Many pyrometer models can be calibrated to meet ISO standards.

Signal Converters
-
On one hand, there are signal converters which transform an input frequency range into an analog signal. These signal converters are very easy to program and control. Other signal converters can transform analog input signals into analog normalized signals with galvanic insulation. Due to the fact that these signal converters can be freely graduated, they offer endless possibilities and 110 combinations can be selected by means of a DIP switch. Other kinds of signal converters can be connected to devices with RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422 protocols.
