Penetrometers
-
Penetrometers measure the firmness or hardness of fruit. Penetrometers are ideal for determining the best time to harvest fruit or to test its progress to maturity. The firmness of fruit is one of the most widely used parameters in testing its maturity, together with measuring the fruits sugar content using refractometers. Electronic penetrometers come with different diameter penetration points. This allows for fruit of different size and hardness to be tested. It is important that this first part of the measurement process is done correctly if the readings obtained are to be valid in making adequate decisions as to when the fruit should be harvested. It is important the the samples that are measured are representative of the entire crop, considering a sufficient minimum quantity sample, size and quality.

Humidity Detectors
-
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.

Vibration Meters
-
A vibration meter is used in manufacturing for machine condition monitoring, product testing and quality assurance. Many machine maintenance technicians use vibration meter devices in tandem with sound level meters to analyze frequency. A vibration meter also can be used in civil engineering to measure the vibration of structures such as buildings, roads and bridges. In addition, specialized vibration meter devices can be used to measure the vibration of the human body. Any vibration meter will measure one or more of the following parameters: vibration acceleration, vibration velocity (speed) and / or vibration displacement.A vibration meter is typically a portable device with a memory for storing measurements. Most vibration meter models feature a built-in data logger for collecting and recording vibration measurement data over time. In this way, vibration measurement data can be acquired with great precision.

Air Flow Meters
-
An Air Flow Meter measures air velocity as well as air pressure. Depending on the type of application, the Air Flow Meter is made as a hot-wire Air Flow Meter, a vane Air Flow Meter, a cup anemometer, a Pitot tube air flow meter or a pocket weather flow meter, all of which can measure air velocity as well as air pressure. Some can even detect the wind direction. The most common unit of measurement for air flow is m/s.Air Flow Meters are basically mass flow meters, as they determine the air velocity and air pressure by measuring the mass flow of a medium, which is air in this case.The results of measuring the air velocity can be stored in the Air Flow Meter's memory, depending on the model. There are a lot of Air Flow Meters available. The air flow meter is ideal for taking quick or constant measurements including monitoring of ventilation installations, process checking, industrial applications, use in private workshops or by nautical enthusiasts or for other hobbies, etc.At PCE, you can find the right air flow meter to use indoors and outdoors. An optional ISO calibration certificate is available for many of the devices.

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.

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.
