Description
Digital force gauge SAUTER FL 500 is a universal digital force measuring instrument featuring a graphics-supported display and an integrated measuring cell for accurate tension and compression applications. Its reversible display with backlight enables clear reading in different orientations, while Peak-Hold records peak values and Track mode provides continuous measurement indication. Selectable units cover N, kN, kgf and lbf to match common laboratory protocols. A capacity display uses an ascending light band to indicate the still available measuring range, and a tolerance (limit-value) function lets users define upper and lower thresholds in tension and compression, supported by an optical signal during the measuring process.
This article is part of Hygrometers & humidity meters, in Temperature measurement.
A robust metal housing supports durable operation in demanding environments. The gauge can be mounted on all SAUTER test stands up to 5 kN. Internal data memory holds up to 500 readings, and a continuous analog output delivers a linear voltage signal from −2 to +2 V as a function of load. USB data interface and standard attachments are included as illustrated. The instrument from manufacturer Kern is delivered in a robust carrying case; net weight is 0,60 kg, making it practical for bench and field force measurement tasks.

Questions about Digital Force Gauge SAUTER FL 500
What is this article?
Digital Force Gauge SAUTER FL 500 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.
