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.

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***

At PCE Instruments you will find three types of radioactivity meters: Alpha radioactivity meter, meter for Alpha, Beta and Gamma radioactivity, radioactivity meter for human beings. It is very important to measure radioactivity as well as to classify radioactivity values. An example of Gamma radioactivity: Terrestrial gamma radiation is measured according to general values from 0,03 – 0,3 µSv / h (micro Sievert/ hour). This "normal“ oscillation range is conditioned by contents in the ground of natural radioactive elements such as uranium, potassium, etc.

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.

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.

Inspection Cameras
-
The inspection camera opens a new view into the insides of machines and systems; whether an endoscope, thermal imaging camera or infrared thermometer - an inspection camera is the ideal instrument for monitoring and maintenance.Due to the flexible control of the endoscope or the visual display of potential damage areas in machines or systems, weaknesses and points of failure can be detected and therefore be prevented. The inspection camera make this possible without the need for complex disassembly.The inspection camera is used by electricians, safety experts, expert witnesses, mechatronics, and mechanics. The inspection camera is also used for apprenticeships and in-service training. An inspection camera can be applied internally as well as at school or at universities for demonstration purposes. With their help, inspections in the industrial sector can be organized considerably faster, more targeted and more cost-efficient. An inspection camera is an important companion in the course of everyday work.

This information is important when determining the actual value of a used car. In addition, certain types of thickness meters can measure wall thickness and determine the hardness of metals, plastics and glass.

Sound Level Meters
-
A sound level meter is a measuring instrument used to assess noise or sound levels by measuring sound pressure. Often referred to as a sound pressure level (SPL) meter, decibel (dB) meter, noise meter or noise dosimeter, a sound level meter uses a microphone to capture sound. The sound is then evaluated within the sound level meter and acoustic measurement values are shown on the display of the sound level meter. The most common unit of acoustic measurement for sound is the decibel (dB); however, some sound level meter devices also determine the equivalent continuous sound level (Leq) and other acoustic parameters. With a portable sound level meter, industrial hygiene and workplace safety professionals can measure sound levels in multiple locations to ensure environmental conditions fall within recommended exposure limits (RELs). Some sound level meter devices can be permanently installed for continuous monitoring of sound levels at a work or job site.

Carbon Dioxide Meters
-
A carbon dioxide meter warns optically or acoustically when the carbon dioxide content is critical. Depending on the model, the carbon dioxide meter supports the function of switching relays when an adjusted value is exceeded. This function can help with the automatic conditioning of rooms. The auto calibration function of the carbon dioxide meter makes an easy calibration possible.The carbon dioxide meter supports the function of data storage and further data transfer of measuring results to a computer. Therefore, it is possible to take long-term measurements in order to capture the carbon dioxide content of a specific place for a longer period. Also, you can find a carbon dioxide meter for fixed installations. These can be applied individually or connected to a gas warning system.
