A wide classification of instruments that are used to analyze material samples, or their components, and record data specific to the application.
Additional Analytical Instruments Categories
Anechoic Chambers
Anechoic chambers are specialized chambers designed for electromagnetic or sound waves.
Deflectometers and Extensometers
Deflectometers and extensometers are used to indicate the deformation of material while it is subjected to stress.
Densometers and Porosimeters
Densometers and porosimeters are used for measuring porosity, air permeability or air resistance of sheet-like or bulk materials.
Diffractometers
Diffractometers are used to measure crystal structure, grain size, texture, and/or residual stress of materials and compounds through the interaction of X-ray beams, gamma rays, electron beams, or neutron beams with a sample.
Fluorometers
Fluorometers measure the amount of fluorescent radiation produced by a sample exposed to monochromatic radiation.
Fuel Testers
Fuel testers analyze the properties and composition of biofuels, gasoline, diesel, and petroleum-based fuels and fuel feedstocks.
Groundwater Monitoring Equipment
Groundwater monitoring equipment includes pumps and other instruments that tap into the water table for water quality assessment, testing for pollutants, and the identification of other compounds.
Ion Selective Electrodes
Ion selective electrodes measure the potential of a specific ion in solution. This potential is measured against a stable reference electrode of constant potential.
Leaf Wetness Sensors
Leaf wetness sensors are used to detect the presence of surface moisture.
Permeation Instruments
Permeation instruments are designed to measure the permeability, solubility, diffusivity and precise transmission rate of organic vapors or liquids through films, paper, pulp, packages and other materials.
Plant Growth Chambers
Plant Growth Chambers are specifically designed to produce environmental conditions to maximize plant growth.
Product and Material Test Fixtures and Accessories
Material test fixtures and accessories include mechanical testing grips, fixtures, sample heaters, extensometers, specimen cutters, and other specialized test components.
Residual Gas Analyzers
Residual gas analyzers (RGAs) identify the gases present in vacuum environments.
Temperature Forcing Systems
Temperature forcing systems provide heating, cooling and/or a humidity and temperature controlled atmosphere to a separate test chamber, platform, or testing unit.
Tensiometers and Surface Tension Meters
Surface tension and wettability instruments measure fluid surface tension, a tangential force that keeps a fluid together at the air/fluid interface. Surface tension is a direct indicator of the quality of any chemical and any formulation.
Thermal Platforms and Thermal Plates
Thermal Platforms provide heating and cooling with more precise temperature control for environmental or climatic testing.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Analyzers
Volatile organic compound (VOC) analyzers are used to detect concentrations of heavy hydrocarbons in gas or liquid media.
