Imada DST digital force gauges are simple-to-use basic gauges featuring user-friendly menu operation. Selections including unit and measuring mode can be locked to prevent accidental changes.

The large backlit LCD display can be configured in basic format to show value, unit and measuring mode or multi-line format to display peak and real time values simultaneously. Additional features include reversible display and high/low setpoints with OK indicator for Go/No Go testing.

The gauges have a 30,000/sec ultra-high sampling rate. Collect the data via USB or RS-232 connections with the optional Force Logger or SW-1X software.

DST gauges are powered by rechargeable Ni-MH batteries or the AC adapter/charger. The batteries are user replaceable and can also be charged using USB ports or USB portable chargers.

The new FG-3000 Series digital force gauges are the choice for simple, economical tension and compression testing. Combining a compact housing, yet maintaining a large back- lit LCD screen, these units are designed to fit snug in the hand for ease of use. The multi-language FG-3000’s provide menu programming for intuitive set-up of the instrument to your desired requirements. Three modes of operation are available: Track mode displays live readings, Peak mode records the maximum values sensed during testing, and Pre-set mode, which activates user defined high and low limit set points. The programmable limits provide a fast visual and audible alert if a test passes or fails. Additionally, a comparator output enables integration of the instrument into your quality system for repetitive testing, for example production lines.

The FG-3000 series can log up to 500 readings with the push of a button for instant data retrieval. The data can be viewed on screen, sent to a printer, or uploaded on the free software program for graphing and statistical analysis.

First off, the battery installation polarity is clearly marked by having one copper terminal on the device being wider than the other terminal. You simply install the wider terminal on your 9V battery into the battery slot on the gauge with the wider copper terminal.Second, to those who say that these units leak, do you really know how a micron gauge reacts after the vacuum pump is turned off or there is air/nitrogen/refrigerant/‘moisture trapped in the refrigerant oil? Vacuum gauges were never intended to be leak detectors, and this is not a leak detector. It measures vacuum. I can pull a below 500 micron vacuum with a decent sized leak. Depending on the size of the system, it could take quite a while for a leak to show up on a micron gauge. If you are pulling a vacuum on a system that holds hundreds or even thousands of pounds of refrigerant, it could take days or weeks for a leak to show up on a micron meter. You simply would not know if there were a leak, or moisture or other non-condensable’s trapped in the refrigerant oil.It’s takes years of experience to be able to somewhat accurately determine if not getting a decent vacuum is due to a leak, non-condenseable’s, oil trapped refrigerant or nitrogen, or equipment issue/gauge issue. Lots of variables. Pressure testing over a reasonable time period is a better indicator of a leak than holding vacuum.We’ll see how this thing works out in the long term. Being able to withstand substantial positive pressure momentarily was a selling point for me. Things do happen. For now, I’m satisfied.

Motorcycle gauges are located primarily on the handlebar assembly, or dash for touring models, and help the rider to know at a glance the mechanical workings of their motorcycle. They are similar to what is seen on a vehicle dashboard. Various motorcycle instruments are available and may be installed as secondary improvements to aesthetics or function.Are motorcycle speedometers accurate?

According to several government regulations, speedometers are permitted to read "high" but may not display a speed that is lower than the actual speed of travel. If you believe that your speedometer is reading high, it may be due to several factors, including sprocket, wheel, tire, or other parts changes from what is stock on the bike.Are fuel gauges required?

The tachometer measures the rotation speed of the engine. Although bike vibration and engine noise may imply rotation speed, the tachometer removes the guesswork and makes it easier for the rider to make decisions about when to shift gears and insight on preserving fuel economy. Many bikes do not come stock with a tachometer. These may be purchased from the vehicle manufacturer and aftermarket companies.How difficult is it to install motorcycle gauges?

Ease of installation will vary, but the basic instructions are similar. The actual part is first mounted with a bracket. The receptor and ground wires are then run down the fork and frame to the engine and secured with wire ties.What are options for mounting gauges?

Because they are visible, and because the rider looks at them often, installing gauges safely, securely, and in a way that is aesthetically pleasing is important. Wire ties may work in a pinch, but there are brackets and cups of varying finishes, sizes, and profiles that will complement the look of your motorcycle. Mounting brackets are usually made of metal and secure the gauge or gauge cluster to your fork or handlebars. Mounting cups, usually rounded or bullet-shaped, mount in the same way. The gauge is seated into the cup which gives your bike a polished look and provides protection for the gauge itself.

Sunlight causes the LCD polarizing filters to fade, which causes the information on the cluster to disappear. The LCD panels should appear black while the cluster is off. If you can see the colored info when the cluster is off, the polarizing film has faded and should be replaced. Click Here to buy.

13) Inspect the polarizing filters on the LCD panels. If you see a fade ring around the edges, consider replacing the polarizing filters on the LCD panels. Now is the time to do that repair.  Click Here to purchase.

15) If the black paint on the back of the LCD panels has worn through, light will shine through the panel in areas other than the places it should. Use black enamel acrylic paint designed for glass and a small paint brush to repaint that area. Note that we supply the correct paint and a brush if you purchase our LCD Polarizing Film kit. Be careful to avoid areas near the factory graphics, and in the areas of the LCD segments!

If your cluster displays randomly flickering LCD segments along with intermittent backlighting, the onboard power supply (Fig 1) may need to be rebuilt. We sell a kit of parts to replace commonly needed components - Click Here

Implement the dashboard panel on the LCD display of your choice for the Arduino Based Smart Watering of Plants example. Use the Display and Push Button blocks to implement the dashboard.

Thickness gauges are measuring instruments that can be used to determine the thickness or gauge of a material. There are actually several different types of thickness gauges, each that function in a slightly different manner depending on the intended application for the gauge. This article will discuss the common types of thickness gauges and their uses and will present information about the specifications that are associated with these types of devices.

The first of these gauges measures material thickness by mechanical means – a calibrated instrument is closed around the sample until contact is made with both sides of the material – a process akin to that of a micrometer. For purposes of this article, these gauges will be referred to as material thickness gauges.

The second type of thickness gauge is designed to measure the thickness of coatings applied to a surface – these are known as coating thickness gauges.

Some characterizations of thickness gauges may include tools such as feeler gauges or clearance gauges in the mix. These devices are more associated with measuring the clearance or gap between two surfaces rather than the thickness of a material or applied coating. As such they are not covered in this article. For more information about these tools, see our related guide our All About Feeler Gauges.

The analog thickness gauges have a jaw that features steel measuring contact pins and a handle and lever. When the lever is released after the material is inserted between the contact pins, the pins close over against the material surface and the measured thickness value is recorded on the analog dial by the position of a needle against a graduated scale on the dial face. The approach of having the pins close with the lever release assures accuracy and consistency in the reading because the instrument applies a uniform measuring pressure against the material’s surface that will be the same from user to user.

Smaller versions of the analog and digital thickness gauges are known as pocket-sized thickness gauges or pocket dial thickness gauges. Instead of using the full hand to operate the gauge, the user holds the instrument between their thumb and index finger. These units are intended for performing quick checks of the thickness of materials such as paper, film, or other types of flat stock. Pocket-sized thickness gauges are available with either analog (dial & needle) displays or electronic (digital) displays.

The sizes and specifications for material thickness gauges are outlined below. Note that there will be some variation in the specifications, depending on the type of dial thickness gauge being considered. The parameters shown below are intended to provide an overview of what to look for and consider when seeking a dial thickness gauge. The size of a thickness gauge may refer to the thickness gauge range, but other parameters such as the gauge reach is a relative indicator of size as well.

Throat clearance – There are also models that are more like calipers, called caliper type thickness gauges. For these, the throat clearance is the maximum separation when the jaws of the unit are opened

In some cases, it is important to measure the thickness of a material that has been applied to another surface, such as a coating or a paint applied to a pipe. In instances such as these, material thickness gauges will not suffice because only one side of the coating or paint is available, and so a material thickness gauge as described earlier cannot function to take a measurement. Coating thickness gauges (sometimes referred to as paint meters) provide a measurement of coating thickness to assure that the coating complies with required standards.

There are generally two types of coating thickness gauges. The simpler of these is a destructive measurement process in which the gauge pierces the dry coating down to the substrate and thus directly establishes the coating thickness. The obvious problem with this method is that it requires damaging the integrity of the coating in order to take the reading. There are also wet coating gauges that measure the thickness of a coating before it has cured

The second type of coating thickness gauge uses a non-destructive process to determine coating thickness. There are several technologies that are used for these types of thickness gauges, a common one being ultrasonic waves.

When coatings whose thickness is being measured are non-magnetic but applied to a magnetic substrate such as iron or steel, there are several types of magnetic thickness gauges that can be used to determine the thickness of the coating application. A so-called type 1 magnetic pull-off gauge uses an estimate of the force needed to pull a magnet away from the coated substrate to estimate coating thickness. These gauges contain a permanent magnet and a calibrated spring with a graduated scale. The thicker the coating, the less the force needed to remove the magnet – the thinner the coating, the greater the force needed. Hence, the pull away force can be used to estimate coating thickness.

There are also roll-back magnetic pull-off thickness gauges that function in a similar manner to the magnetic pull-off gauges described above. These devices feature a permanent magnet attached to one end of a balance arm that can pivot as the user rotates a dial with their finger. A calibrated spring is used to display the force needed to pull the magnet away from the surface, which again is a proxy for the coating thickness between the magnet and the underlying substrate.

Three additional instruments that can be used to measure coating thickness are magnetic induction instruments, electromagnetic instruments, and eddy current thickness gauges. The first two of these three function by measuring the change in the magnetic flux density at the surface of a magnetic probe as it is brought near the surface of a coated steel surface. The measured flux density values can be used to estimate the thickness of the coating applied to the surface.

Material thickness gauges and coating thickness gauges require calibration against standard material test pieces in order to assure that the device readings provide and maintain accurate values. For example, with ultrasonic coating thickness gauges, the speed of the sound energy will be dependent on the material in which it propagates. Table 1 below shows the speed of sound transmission in meters per second for different material types. This characteristic must be stored and used to establish the pulse transit time (and therefore the material thickness).

Similarly, material thickness gauges are often sold with calibration blocks that can be used to calibrate the gauge by placing material of known thickness between the contact pins or caliper arms to validate readings.

Wire and sheet metal thickness gauges are metal templates into which precision holes and slots have been cut. These devices can enable a user to easily assess the gauge number of sheet metal for steel or iron and wire gauge size for steel, aluminum, brass, and copper wire. Gauges cover the U.S Standard Iron and Steel Gauge, the American Wire Gauge (AWG), and the U.S. Steel Wire Gauge. The gauges allow the user to directly read the corresponding gauge numbers from these templates, and to access the decimal equivalent sizes as well. While called by the term thickness gauges, they differ in the sense from the other types of gauges mentioned in this article in that they more for validating a material against a standard set of sizes, as opposed to measuring a value whose magnitude is unknown.
