Check for quality and consistency among packages, parts, and other objects in areas that are frequently washed down. These scales are IP and NEMA rated, so they seal out water and dust. Also known as check weighers, they alert you when items are outside of a set weight range. The stack light uses three colored lights: one for too heavy, one for too light, and one for when items are good to go. An audible alarm also signals when items are outside your weight standard. Exact measurements appear on a bright, backlit LCD display. Mount the display to the included column to position it where it’s easiest to see.

Press the tare button to reset these scales to zero when using a container to hold small items. To print or transfer data to a computer, connect an RS-232 computer cord (not included) to the scale's DB9 port.

Quickly weigh the moisture in an object or substance. Also called moisture analyzers, these scales help with a variety of tasks, from measuring the liquid content of concrete to the concentration of medications. They work by weighing your sample before and after it’s been dehydrated to determine its moisture content. A halogen light quickly and evenly heats samples inside a reflective chamber to give you results within 0.01% repeatability.

Use the quick setup function to automatically analyze a sample and create a testing method. These scales have a standard drying speed setting that heats your sample without over drying it. To stop a test, there are three different modes—manual, automatic, and timed. Automatic mode allows you to set your own criteria to stop the test once moisture loss is no longer detected. To zero the scale after a weighing pan has been placed on it, simply press the tare button. Print your measurement data or send it to your PC using a USB or RS-232 cord (not included).

These testers come with a reusable pan to place your sample in. For samples that could spit and spatter when heated, place your sample on the rough side of the included fiberglass pad. Use a disposable aluminum pan (sold separately) for samples that are difficult to clean.

Scales with a digital touch screen are easy to operate since they use icons to indicate different functions and applications. There’s no training required to operate these scales. They have several additional drying speed settings. The ramp setting increases the temperature at a set rate. The step setting lets you program three different temperatures and time intervals for drying. The fast setting quickly heats the chamber to drying temperature, however this setting is more likely to over-dry a sample. Customize, store, and transfer test procedures for up to 100 different samples. Store up to 1,000 test results with their built-in memory. Multiple people can use these scales, but you can restrict access to change settings.

Quickly measure package dimensions to calculate shipping costs with these NTEP-approved scales. Simply place an item within the scan zone and they’ll give a readout in one-fifth of a second. They measure not only standard boxes and flat packages, but also irregularly shaped containers such as polybags. To transfer data to a printer or computer, connect an RS-232 cord (not included) via the DB9 port. These scales are compatible with UPS Worldship and other common shipping software. To calculate both weight and dimensions, use them with a weighing scale (sold separately).

Measure tension force as well as weight. These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy. All are NEMA 4X rated for protection from dust, water, and mild corrosives. They can be manually reset to zero and have a peak-hold setting that retains the highest reading on the display when activated. Also known as dynamometers.

View weight measurements from your tension and compression force sensor. These displays, also known as indicators, connect directly to your sensor. They can also be paired with a connection hub to display the summed weight from multiple sensors.

Calibrate these sensors to your desired capacity to measure tension, compression, or both. Also known as load cells, they measure and track the forces of your equipment by converting them into electrical signals. Send these signals to your computer or programmable logic controller (PLC) to monitor, document, and trigger actions in your machinery.

When choosing a sensor, consider whether you’ll be measuring tension, compression, or both. Select sensors with a capacity rating higher than the greatest load you expect them to receive. They’re designed to briefly handle forces 1.5 times their load capacity to protect from overload. Choose between a rectangle, round, or S-shape sensor to best suit your application.

IP-rated sensors seal out dust. IP67 sensors won’t fail if briefly submerged.

Legal-for-trade sensors are NTEP approved for use with equipment that measures materials sold by weight.

With a sensor that’s already calibrated and everything you need to relay data, these kits come ready to operate. Use them to measure forces in equipment and send the data directly to a computer or programmable logic controller (PLC) to monitor, document, and trigger actions in machinery. They’re also used as the foundation within custom-built scales and force gauges, and to measure force in crash tests and other quality control processes. These sensors are also known as load cells.

PC connection kits link to a computer, tablet, or LCD display. All include a calibrated force sensor, a data conversion hub, and data-recording software. The conversion hub turns electrical signals from the sensor into usable force measurements. The software plots and analyzes measurements, so you can track high, low, and average values over time. It can also set off connected alarms or notify you when readings fall outside a set range. Export the data to Microsoft Excel and other analytical software such as MATLAB and LabVIEW. Wired PC connection kits come with a 6-ft. hub-to-PC USB cord. PLC connection kits send an analog signal to your PLC to trigger actions such as diverting items that exceed a certain weight on a conveyor. They include a calibrated sensor and a data conversion hub. They’re not for use with LCD displays.

PLC/PC connection kits combine the trigger functions of a PLC with the tracking and notification features of computer software. They include a calibrated force sensor, a data conversion hub, data-recording software, and a 6-ft. hub-to-USB cord.

Monitor torque as you apply it—these testers mount between your torque tool and your fastener. Engage the fastener to track both torque and the angle of rotation for each crank of your tool (snug torque) before you've reached the final torque. This gives you a better idea if fasteners are consistently tightened than measuring torque alone. These testers are often used with nutrunners and click-style torque wrenches in the automotive and aerospace industries. Store up to 999 maximum torque (peak) and rotation values, including the date and time of each test, or transfer to your computer to view in an Excel file. CE marked, they meet European safety standards.

For the most accurate readings, the maximum torque you're applying should fall near the middle of the tester's torque range. They are not for use with impact tools.

Testers with a USB connection transfer data directly to your computer with the included cord. These testers last up to 10 hours on a single charge.

Testers with a Bluetooth connection wirelessly transmit data to a computer as you measure. You can also remotely set snug torque, or when these testers starting measuring the torque applied with each rotation. They last up to 8 hours on a single charge with Bluetooth on and 10 hours with it off.
