Force Measurement

Force measurement involves a variety of tests that are crucial for ensuring the quality, safety, and durability of specific products. The most common tests include tensile, compression, and torque measurements, each tailored to specific applications across different industries.

Tensile and compression forces are measured using dynamometers, available in both digital and analog versions. These versatile tools are widely used in industries for tasks such as evaluating push and pull forces, performing quality control tests for tensile and compression strength, checking seal integrity, and measuring the dynamic stress cycles of materials. They are also commonly used to assess the opening and closing forces of gates, doors, and windows.

Force gauges measure weight force in both tension and compression, using units like kilograms, newtons, or others. Their applications are broad, ranging from weight control and assessing load-handling risks to measuring the pulling force of cables, ropes, and tie rods, as well as determining opening and closing forces in various settings.

Torque force measurements, on the other hand, are carried out using torque meters. These instruments are critical for verifying, calibrating, and monitoring torque wrenches to ensure measurement accuracy. A specific type of torque meter is designed for caps and closures, measuring the force required to open or close various types of caps. This is particularly useful in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.
