Description
Digital force gauge SAUTER FH 10K is a universal instrument for tensile and compressive force measurements with an external measuring cell. It combines a reversible backlit display with selectable units in N, kN, kgf and tf, so readings can be matched to common laboratory and industrial conventions. Peak-Hold captures the maximum value during a test, while Track mode delivers a continuous live display for process monitoring. A tolerance (limit) function lets upper and lower thresholds be set independently for tension and compression; acoustic and optical signals support the operator during the measurement sequence. An RS-232 data interface is fitted as standard for connection to PCs or printers, and an internal memory holds up to 10 measured values. Auto-Power-Off reduces unnecessary power draw between uses. The instrument is supplied as a single-piece set in a robust carrying case from manufacturer Kern, making the SAUTER FH 10K a practical choice for quality control, materials testing and routine force checks that require an external load cell.

Questions about Digital Force Gauge SAUTER FH 10K
What is this article?
Digital Force Gauge SAUTER FH 10K is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes KERN for laboratory use. It sits in Hygrometers & humidity meters, inside Temperature measurement, in Lab instruments.
A hygrometer measures the water in the air, as relative humidity or as dew point. It is the instrument for a desiccator room, a stability chamber or a store. The sensor drifts, and the calibration is part of believing the number.
A thermometer reports a temperature. A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a calibrated column. A digital thermometer is a sensor and a display, and the sensor, not the display, is what is calibrated. An infrared thermometer reads a surface and depends on emissivity. A data logger stores the reading over time. Without a stated uncertainty and a calibration point, the number is only an indication. The scale is maintained by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET. Accreditation is BELAC.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Temperature measurement. The sub-category is Hygrometers & humidity meters. The catalogue is Lab instruments.
Shelves beside this one are Laboratory glass thermometers, Temperature probes & sensors, Data loggers, Temperature measurement accessories, Digital thermometers and Infrared thermometers.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
