Testing and
Measuring in the Lab
Test and measurement equipment is used across a wide variety of fields.
Electronics, research labs, material analysis, manufacturing, and
particle analysis all use test and measurement equipment to measure
various components of the materials they are working with and
analyzing.
Range of Test and Measurement Equipment:
In the electronic industry voltmeters, ohmmeters, ammeters, capacitance
meters, and EMF meters (to measure electronic and magnetic fields),
signal generators, digital pattern generators, pulse generators,
oscilloscopes and frequency counters are used to produce signals and
then measure the response of the object being tested.
Withing particle analysis testing there are particle counters, size analyzers, shape analyzers, surface energy analyzers, and zeta potential analyzers.
To test the mechanical properties of manufactured products there area
variety of testers for many characteristics, such as:
- Compression
- Friction
- Hardness
- Impact
- Torsion
- Fatigue
- And more!
Considerations of Test and Measurement Equipment:
The types of test and measure equipment that will be needed is
contingent on the types of materials being tested and which of their
properties need to be measured. Portability and cost are key factors as
well.
