Humidity Indicators
-
A humidity detector, also referred to as a humidity meter or humidity gauge, is a device with a humidity sensor that measures the relative humidity in the air. PCE Instruments offers a number of humidity detector products including handheld humidity detector, data recording or data logging humidity detector, and combination or multifunction humidity detector devices that also measure parameters such as room or ambient temperature and atmospheric or barometric pressure. A humidity detector can measure relative humidity (RH) as a percentage (%) from 0 to 100 % RH, depending on the humidity measurement range of the specific model.Humidity is a key factor in everything from library and museum archival to agriculture, construction, manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, and heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR). A relative humidity meter also is helpful in evaluating workers' heat stress risk on production floors and job sites. In addition, humidity plays an important role in the residential sector. If the humidity is too high in a private household, mold can grow. Mold creates a health hazard for anyone breathing the air in the home.

Roughness Testers
-
Roughness is an important parameter when trying to find out whether a surface is suitable for a certain purpose. Rough surfaces often wear out more quickly than smoother surfaces. Rougher surfaces are normally more vulnerable to corrosion and cracks, but they can also aid in adhesion. A roughness tester is used to quickly and accurately determine the surface texture or surface roughness of a material. A roughness tester shows the measured roughness depth (Rz) as well as the mean roughness value (Ra) in micrometers or microns (µm). Measuring the roughness of a surface involves applying a roughness filter. Different international standards and surface texture or surface finish specifications recommend the use of different roughness filters. For example, a Gaussian filter often is recommended in ISO standards.

Colorimeters
-
A colorimeter is a valuable color-measuring tool used by manufacturers, printers, painters, designers and quality control professionals. Colorimeters ensure accurate, consistent color, eliminating issues related to color subjectivity. Depending on the model, PCE Instruments' colorimeter products can measure colors in different color spaces such as CIE LAB, XYZ, LCh, RGB and LUV (for liquids and solids / that is why you can choose the media via filter selection). The most popular colorimeter models in our range of color-reading products are the PCE-CSM series colorimeters. Aside from being easy to use and economical, the PCE-CSM series colorimeters offer high degrees of accuracy.

Rotation Meters
-
Here you will find many types of rotation meter. There are different ways of measuring revolutions within the industrial sector, either optically or mechanically. The PCE-151 handheld series of rotation meter with Rotation Meter OverviewRS-232 interface can measure revolutions and velocity and store the readings onto a computer using software which comes with the device. The handheld digital rotation meter is ideal for measuring velocity and revolutions in research and maintenance. The PCE-T236 rotation meter measures velocity both by contact and non-contact and is good value for money.Non-contact measurement of velocity is done with the help of reflective tape. For a device that can be installed for measurements over a period of time, we recommend the PAX I rotation meter.

Noise Meters
-
Here you will find a full range with an industrial standard noise meter / sound meter to suit every requirement. With the portable noise meter you can carry out measurements quickly to gain control of a situation or to set the sound meter to take timed measurements. The noise meter is important for all industries, especially by using it as a mobile noise meter which is able to assess office stress levels or street noise levels. Often problems arise from noisy neighbors or if bars and restaurants are in residential areas and produce noise levels after 10 pm in excess of what local laws permit. A noise meter / sound meter will help here.We can assess which noise meter or sound meter you require in relation to the issue you have and the relating laws (requirements regarding a sound meter and a sound meter’s usage vary depending on the country). We also have noise meter microphone extension cords, tripods, sound meter calibrators and calibration certificates for most noise meter models.

Endoscopes
-
Originally designed for the medical sector, endoscopes are the ideal tool for inspection and maintenance today. Endoscopes offer new perspectives to viewing the insides of machines. Thanks to their flexible fibre optic cables and light weight enclosure, these extraordinary endoscopes are the ideal tool for inspection and maintenance. Endoscopes can locate problems and conflicts of the system very easily and quickly, allowing for preventative measures to be taken without the need to dismantle the machinery first. Complex dismantling of machines is usually very time and cost intensive. With the help of endoscopes, inspections in an industrial sector can therefore be organized considerably faster, more aimed and more cost-efficiently Endoscopes are used mainly by electricians, security personnel, specialists in the professional sector, and mechanics of all types. All of our endoscopes are ***Not for medical use***

Hardness Testers
-
The hardness tester products you will find at PCE Instruments (PCE) are used for determining surface hardness. Each hardness tester uses a standard method of measurement. The measuring principles of most hardness tester devices are based on either the penetration of a diamond indentor into the material being tested or a calculation related to the force of the rebound after striking the tested material. However, material hardness can also be measured accurately through ultrasonic testing. Each hardness testing method has its benefits and will allow for the precise measurement of material hardness in accordance with the technical specifications of the hardness testing instrument.

In this section you will find an ozone meter to determine the content of ozone in the air or in the water. The ozone meter is essentially used in environmental technology, but the ozone meter is also used in industrial processes. The ozone meter in water is necessary for water treatment or recycling facilities, such as disinfection processes. The handling of the ozone meter is very simple. The recalibration of the ozone meter can be made by the user at any time. The ozone meter in air requires a more complicated calibration, usually a sensor works for two years with optimal results (little variation) before having to be changed.
