The barcol impressor hardness test is applied to measure the hardness of soft materials like duro plastics, hard thermo plastics, aluminum, glass-reinforced plastics, semi finished, and finished products. The tests are characterized by the indentation hardness of materials. The barcol hardness test is done to determine how much a plastic or resin has cured. Manufacturing industries prefer this method of testing in order to ensure that they get the right quality of composite materials for their products.

Stroboscopes are used to measure or inspect the rotational speed of spinning objects. They are mostly applied as a measuring instrument for determining cyclic speed of moving machinery. They are able to give a glimpse of moving targets to allow technicians to identify damage to belts, pulleys, shafts and gears without having to stop the machinery. This is very important for manufacturing industries since they are able to identify malfunctions before the problem becomes severe. A wide range of equipment like fans, conveyor belts, motors, engines, grinders, saw blades and centrifuges heavily rely on stroboscopes to measure the spinning speed.

Today’s snap gages are as one would expect, advanced. They come complete with accuracy-focused and sophisticated features. Carbon snap gages for instance use carbon fiber for the handles. This makes it easy for one to handle the gage. It also improves precision as it is lighter than other snap gages.

Unlike other snap gages, carbon fiber snap gages are adjustable to a full 2”³ (50mm) of range. This perk alone ensures that one can measure thicker components with precision. They are also easy to use, so there is no learning curve at all. If you are searching for a carbon fiber snap gage, consider Starrett 5003 Carbon Fiber Snap Gages. Read on to find out more about the snap gage.

A force gage is a comprehensive solution for a component of a larger test system or specific tests. It can be easily integrated into a motorized or manual test stand, or it can even be handheld. It is straightforward for hand operated tests, and at the same time complicated enough to be integrated with motorized test stands, data collection software, and PLCs. They are commonly used in production, quality control, and research environments.

For a long time, concentricity gages have been utilized for inspection purposes. Oftentimes, they are used to inspect flat, internal, and external surfaces of rotating parts. This type of equipment is usually centrelessly mounted on three rollers, in type RPG micro, RPG mini, RPG AL, and RPG. Concentricity gages feature a robust design, with pre-loaded roller bearings designed to increase the longevity of the gage. Today, these gages are available in a variety of designs and sizes to fit diameters up to 240 mm. If you are looking to get a concentricity gage, you should consider Universal Punch Series K1 Concentricity Gages. Let’s find out more about this fantastic product!

Air gaging is a powerful metrology method and first started ensuring quality in the late 1910s. Early versions of such systems were regulated by bubbling air via a level of water within a cylinder, in which air was also passed. The technique utilizes compressed air to measure changes in flow rates and pressure. Oftentimes, air gages are employed in tests where the distances between a workpiece and the precision orifices needed to be measured.

Air gages have the ability to measure small tolerances because of the reliability and magnification they can provide. A resolution as small as 0.00002 inch can be achieved! If you need to measure extremely thin-walled parts for soft materials, air gaging is the noncontact solution you can count on. If you are looking for an air column amplifier, you should consider the Mahr Federal S1840 Air Column Amplifier. Let’s find out more about this amazing product in this product spotlight!

Hardness is not an elementary physical property. It is more of a characteristic of a material. Hardness is defined as an object’s ability to resist indentation. Its hardness is then measured by the irreversible depth of the indentation. When utilizing a load and a certain indenter, one usually looks out for the size of the indentation. The smaller the indentation, the harder that part will be.

With that in mind, hardness testing is used for two general characterizations, which are functionality and material characteristics. You can use hardness testing for predicting tensile strength, testing wear resistance, testing resistance to impact, testing hardenability, and more. Before a test is conducted, scale, thickness, sample size, material, etc., are some of the factors that will be considered prior to selecting the hardness testing method. In this product spotlight, you will find out more about an excellent hardness testing tool that can make this task easier. Introducing the Phase II PHT-5100 Digital Barcol Impressor Hardness Tester.

If you can’t measure it, how can you make it? When it comes to validation and inspection, this is something you need to keep in mind. Today, industry specialists need to measure contour lines. These lines refer to edges and lines that bound or define an object or shape. Stylus method has come of age and is now used to evaluate and detect profiles, as well as accurately determining the contour geometry. If you are looking to get a precision contour measurement system for your shop, you can never go wrong with Mahr MarSurf XC 20. Let’s find out more about it in this product spotlight!

Vernier calipers are measuring instruments required for precise reading of machine parts or fittings. Routine care and maintenance is very important to maintain the consistency and functionality of a vernier caliper. Along with keeping it in a properly allocated space, there are a few maintenance steps one must take to keep your vernier caliper from malfunctioning.

If you work in some industry, which deals in small fittings or parts, you must know the importance of an extremely precise measurement. For such a purpose, we require an instrument like micrometer to get exact readings, which is important for accurate end results.

A durometer is a device used for testing the hardness of rubber and various plastics. A durometer is basically used to measure a material’s indentation depth produced by a given force on a standardized pressure foot. The depth depends on the duration of the test, the shape of the pressure foot, its viscoelastic properties and the hardness of the material. A basic test requires the application of force in a consistent manner to measure the depth of the indentation without shock. When a timed hardness is reached, force is usually applied for a required amount of time and then read.

Calipers are highly versatile tools designed for a wide array of distance measurements. These tools allow you to measure inside diameters and outside diameters with exceptional ease. Although micrometers provide more accuracy, they have limitations in terms of measurement range. With that, an average caliper can span from two inches to four feet.

Today, there are three basic types of calipers, including vernier, dial, and digital. Vernier variants are the original design, dial variants are second-generation calipers, digital calipers are the latest forms of calipers and have been used in shopfloor environment for more than two decades.

Unlike dial calipers, digital calipers do not feature gear systems, pinions, or racks. These differences make them more shock-proof. In addition, digital calipers can easily convert from inches to mm and vice versa. If you are looking for a digital wireless caliper, you should consider Mahr Federal 16 EWRi Digital Wireless Calipers. Let’s find out more about this amazing product in this product spotlight!

Bore gaging is basically a convenient term for the transfer or measuring tools that are utilized in the process of measuring holes in an accurate manner. There is a rising concern for TQA or Total Quality Assurance, and that’s why bore gaging has become increasingly important in metrology and other manufacturing processes. For instance, they are used to measure difficult-to-assess internal features such as deep bores, threads, and splines.

Next, you should know that with the continued expansion of machine capability, the need for dimensional gaging to be able to cope with the increased complexity of component parts and tighter limits on tolerances also increases as well. Even if you are not so much concerned with making a part to a specific tolerance band, you should always remember to use a gage that discriminates size variation. In this post, you will find out more about an excellent bore gaging tool that can make this task easier. Introducing the Fowler Bowers XTH Pistol Grip Only.
