The SAUTER GmbH brand stands for professional and reliable measuring technology. In the range, you will find metal and plastic hardness testers, noise meters, lux meters, force meters, torque testers, test stands, coating thickness gauges, ultrasonic thickness gauges and more.
Force Gauges
Designed for accurate force measurement in a variety of applications, SAUTER force gauges offer a wide range of models including spring scales with scales in grams, kilograms and newtons. These instruments are ideal for use in industrial and laboratory applications where reliability and high measurement accuracy are required.
Modern materials testing includes, among other things, tensile and contact force measurements.
This is an integral part of the testing process. SAUTER offers an attractive range of reliable measuring instruments for this purpose. The force gauge combines a strain gauge, tensile or tensile-pressure sensor and digital evaluation. It is available as a product with integrated or external sensor. The force meter displays the measured value in either force units (N) or weight units (g/kg/lb). The force meter has the option of digital calibration and can be supplied with a calibration sheet at an additional cost.
Hardness Testers for Plastics
Albert Shore developed a method for measuring the hardness of plastics in 1915, which involves pushing a metal pin into the material. The depth of penetration determines the hardness, with shallow penetration indicating a harder material. Mechanical and electrical instruments are used for measurement, which can be supplemented with test stands for higher accuracy.
Hardness Gauges for Metals
Determining the hardness of metals is crucial in the preparation and use of materials. Methods such as Vickers, Rockwell and Brinell are used, or for mobile measurements the Dietmar Leeb reflection method. In this method, an impactor is shot against the material being tested, resulting in deformation and loss of kinetic energy, which is measured and evaluated as Leeb hardness (HL). The measuring instruments are compact and equipped with internal memory for data recording.
Material Thickness Measuring Instruments
SAUTER material thickness measuring instruments enable accurate and non-destructive inspections of thicknesses of metallic and non-metallic materials using ultrasonic or mechanical technology. Ultrasonic models are suitable for testing homogeneous materials, while mechanical micrometers provide reliable results for soft or thin layers. These instruments are widely used in industrial, manufacturing, and laboratory applications where quality assurance and adherence to specified dimensions are required.
Instruments for Measuring Coating Thickness
Coating thickness measurement is well known, for example, for measuring the thickness of coatings on automobiles. In fact, these measurements are used much more widely in industrial applications. The thickness of surface finishes such as galvanizing, electroplating, or even lacquers are measured here.
