Description
Mechanical Force Gauge SAUTER FA 500 is a mechanical instrument for tensile and compressive force measurements with an integrated peak-hold function. A dual scale presents Newton and kilogram values side by side, so both units can be read in parallel during testing. The rotatable scale dial simplifies zero setting of the instrument, while a push-button control resets the display between measurements. Peak values are retained by a drag pointer, supporting clear capture of maximum force during pull or push tests. The gauge can be mounted on all manual test stands, making it suitable for bench work as well as portable checks. Standard attachments as illustrated and a 90 mm extension rod are included in the scope of delivery, so the instrument is ready for typical laboratory and quality-control setups. Supplied in a robust carrying case from manufacturer Kern, this analogue force gauge offers straightforward handling for routine force measurement tasks on materials, components and assemblies without electronic complexity.

Questions about Mechanical Force Gauge SAUTER FA 500
What is this article?
Mechanical Force Gauge SAUTER FA 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.
