Thickness, roughness, gloss and force measurement. Select an instrument and accessories by material, range and inspection method.
Product families
Choose the application, then identify the family and exact model. The cards distinguish published product characteristics from the information needed for selection. For new equipment, send a specification; for replacement, send the installed product marking. Preserve the full designation and required package contents. For multiple positions, retain separate lines and quantities rather than combining products with similar names.
AC-112CS coating thickness
AC-112CS measures coating thickness over a 0–1250 µm range. The manufacturer lists calibration foils and iron and aluminium bases in the package, with USB and Bluetooth as options.
Start by identifying the substrate and the coating; a coating measurement is a different task from checking the remaining wall thickness of a pipe. Specify the expected thickness and whether the measurement point requires an integrated or separate probe.
For a replacement calibration item, provide the instrument designation and the marking on the existing foil or base. State whether the request covers a complete meter or only an identified accessory.
AT-140A/B ultrasonic wall thickness
AT-140A covers 1.2–200 mm and AT-140B 1.2–300 mm in the stated 45 steel reference material. The standard transducer is 5 MHz with an 8 mm diameter. Listed special probes include 5 MHz / 6 mm for small diameters, 5 MHz / 12 mm for high temperature, and 2 MHz / 10 mm for plastic and cast iron.
Couplant is included in the published package. Describe the material, thickness, surface temperature and part diameter before selecting the probe.
For an existing meter, include both instrument and transducer markings, connector photographs and whether the probe cable is part of the requested supply.
AT-140T3 through-coating measurement
AT-140T3 offers Pulse-Echo measurement over 1–300 mm in steel and Echo-Echo over 3–30 mm. Its memory contains 20 files of 99 values. The two ranges belong to different measurement modes and should remain separate in a specification.
Identify whether the metal is coated, the expected metal thickness and how results will be recorded. For repeated inspection points, describe the required grouping of measurements. A request for a replacement probe should preserve the full instrument model and probe designation.
Include a sample drawing or photograph of the accessible surface when its curvature or restricted area determines which probe can be positioned.
AR-132A surface roughness
AR-132A evaluates Ra and Rz using an inductive sensor with a diamond stylus. Published cut-off lengths are 0.25, 0.8 and 2.5 mm, and the listed package includes the standard sensor and reference specimen.
Selection starts with the roughness parameter in the drawing, followed by the measurement area and geometry. Distinguish a flat external face from a bore or a recessed surface.
For sensor replacement, supply its marking and the original instrument model rather than ordering a generic stylus by appearance. If a reference specimen is required, include its existing identification and the parameter used in the inspection procedure.
AG-200/2000 three-angle gloss
AG-200/2000 measures at 20°, 60° and 85° simultaneously. The two listed ranges are 0–200 GU and 0–2000 GU. Choose the range and measurement geometry from the inspection method and expected surface gloss, then identify the material and accessible measurement area.
For incoming inspection, state whether results must be compared with an existing instrument or reference sample. Keep the exact model when requesting a calibration standard or a complete replacement meter.
If several surface finishes are checked, list their required angles separately; a broad measurement range alone does not replace the geometry prescribed by the inspection procedure.
AG-1247B alternate gloss geometry
AG-1247B uses 20°, 45° and 75° angles and a published range of 0.1–200 GU. Its package lists a holder with a calibration standard and a cloth for the optics. These angles differ from the AG-200/2000 arrangement, so the instruments should be selected against the actual test method.
Provide the required angle, surface material and exact model already used on the line. For a calibration accessory, photograph the holder and its marking as well as the meter label.
Identify whether the requirement is for replacing a missing item, equipping another inspection station or obtaining a complete instrument package.
FG-107 force measurement
FG-107 comprises FG-107-1K, 2K, 5K, 10K, 20K, 50K and 100K, with ranges from ±1 to ±100 kgf depending on the variant. Listed fittings include a hook, flat, conical and V-shaped tips and an extension. USB cable, Bluetooth, power supply and a stand are optional.
Define the maximum force and whether the test uses tension or compression, then describe how the specimen is held. For a stand-based test, state the fixture and travel requirements.
Preserve the suffix when requesting tips or a complete meter, and list the required attachments individually instead of assuming every optional item belongs to the standard package.
Condition and material inspection
The manufacturer also lists AV-160D three-dimensional vibration measurement, HBa-1+ Barcol hardness, AL-150N cement hardness, AH-192D dew point, AC-115S colour measurement and MT-200D/DA magnetic-field measurement.
These are separate inspection directions, not interchangeable versions of one instrument. Begin with the physical quantity, expected range and test conditions, then name the relevant model. For a service inquiry, attach the instrument label and identify the external sensor or accessory involved.
If only a production problem is known, describe the object and the result that must be measured; this helps separate the equipment selection task from a request for an already identified replacement component.
Selecting the measurement method
Define the production result first: coating or wall thickness, Ra or Rz, gloss at a specified angle, or tension and compression force. Attach the relevant drawing or inspection-method excerpt with the quantity, units and expected range.
Include a photograph of the accessible surface and separate the requirements of different materials or geometries. State whether inspection is portable or uses a fixed stand. If readings will be compared with an existing instrument, retain its complete marking and settings.
Identify any required calibration documents before quotation. An available reference specimen or representative part should be listed as an input for configuring the package, not as evidence that a proposed instrument has already been tested.
Probes and calibration accessories
For ultrasonic equipment, supply the transducer marking, frequency, diameter, connector and required cable length. For roughness inspection, identify the sensor and stylus access conditions.
For gloss, retain the meter, angle and standard identification; for force testing, preserve the range suffix and tip shape. Separate the instrument, replacement accessory, reference specimen and optional data-transfer equipment into individual lines.
A packing list with marked positions is useful where available. Add an overall package photograph and a close-up of each marking, then state the quantity and which parts remain serviceable.
Diagnosis of a faulty instrument is a separate scope from sourcing an already identified accessory, so describe any fault independently of the component list.
For a new inspection station, attach the inspection method or drawing excerpt stating the required quantity and units. Explain where measurements take place, how results are recorded and whether data transfer is required. List different materials and ranges separately.
Define the desired instrument, accessories and fixtures as individual items. If replacing an existing meter, include its complete designation and the settings or interfaces that must be retained.
Identify required documents and reference samples before quotation, and state whether the instrument will be used on the production floor or at a fixed inspection station.
Parts and package scope
An inquiry may include an instrument and individual accessories, but keep them on separate lines. For a missing item, attach the manual or original packing list; for a damaged item, include accessible markings and a description of the fault.
List calibration foils, standards, tips, cables and other requested positions separately, with quantity and any existing items that will remain in service. A component listed in a standard package is not automatically confirmed as separately available. The quotation defines the actual scope.
Diagnosis, repair and setting up an inspection procedure should be identified separately from a request to supply known equipment.
Send the model or specification
Send the complete designation, quantity and destination, together with photographs and available documentation. Identify mandatory characteristics and whether an alternative is acceptable. Package contents, availability, price, lead time and suitability are determined for the specific inquiry. We are neither an authorized dealer nor the manufacturer’s representative.
