LAN Network 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.

Lux Meters
-
Lux meters are used for measuring brightness in lux, fc or cd/m². Some lux meters are equipped with an internal memory or data logger to record and save measurements. The measurement of light intensity with a lux meter is becoming increasingly important in the workplace due to safety concerns. PCE Instruments' lux meters with data loggers are highly regarded in the industry due to the devices' cosine correction of the angle of incident light.Many lux meters include software for detailed analysis and offer different interfaces for transferring measured data to a computer.

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.

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.

Conductivity Meters
-
There are both standard and a waterproof conductivity meter, as well as a conductivity meter available for flowing water or pure water (highly recommended for specific industries) as well as the ones with different conductivity measurement ranges. An important factor is that a conductivity meter normally measures electric conductivity in µS/cm, however it can also take measurements in mg/l (for direct reading of content in dissolved solid substances). The relation is established as follows: 2 µS/cm = 1ppm (parts per million) = 1 mg/l. Compensated temperature in the conductivity meter can be automatic or by hand.

Gas Analyzers
-
Here you will find gas analyzers that meet industry standards relating to personal safety and that are mainly used to detect and measure levels of methane, hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and 50 other gases. The auto-calibration function allows for easy calibration. Some of them also possess the ability to store values and can later transfer data to a computer. One accessory is the manual aspirator, with this device, you can draw gas directly into the analyzer via a 2 m long tube with which you will be able to measure gas levels without having to be in direct contact to the gas source or to be able to determine the levels of gas in places that are difficult to access.

Moisture Meters
-
Moisture can be found in any material. Even materials considered to be dry have a minor amount of moisture. An imbalance of moisture, whether it be excessive moisture or too little moisture, can cause problems ranging from undesired mold and bacteria growth to cracks and defects. To avoid a moisture imbalance, it is essential to monitor moisture content with a moisture meter that returns accurate and reliable measuring results. A moisture meter can measure the moisture content of everything from the air (relative humidity) to construction and building materials (concrete, wood) to biomass and agricultural products (hay, straw, grain, corn, beans, pellets) to solid waste (pulp, slurry) and beyond. Many moisture meter devices can also measure temperature. The moisture measurement range of each moisture meter varies depending on the model. Some moisture meter products take moisture measurements, store the moisture measurement data to an internal memory or SD cad, and allow the stored moisture measurement data to be transferred to a computer for detailed analysis by means of an evaluation software. PCE Instruments' moisture meter products come factory calibrated. ISO calibration certificates are available optionally for purchase as accessories to most moisture meter models. An ISO calibration certificate may be important to your company in meeting specific quality standards.

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.

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.
