This electronic mold strength tester ensures a practically movement-free force measurement by means of an oscillating crystal-controlled sensor.

The measured force, which corresponds to the penetration resistance, indicates the strength rate. The tester comprises a digital display unit, a multifunction push-button switch and two 1,5 V batteries. It measures and stores the maximum value in N/cm2 or PSI, automatically calibrates the zero point, retains the value last measured in storage, and then turns off automatically.

Key Advantages:

Utilizes a crystal oscillator sensing element which allows for measured force to correspond to actual mold penetration resistance.
Eliminates traditional sources of error such as non-linearity of springs.
Measures in both N/cm² and PSI.
Very light weight; device only weighs only 125 g (0.28 lbs.).
