Detailed Description

  • Non-destructive measurements of elastic properties of materials
  • Extremely rapid and simple: just a light tap is needed and the result is displayed within a fraction of a second
  • Measurements of E- and G-modulus and Poisson’s ratio
  • An alternative to destructive testing as excellent correlations exist between breaking load and natural frequency
  • Production process monitoring for launch and QA-QC
  • Widest range of materials: ceramic, wood, composites, brick, concrete etc.
  • Widest range of sizes from less then 100mg to 100ton
  • Suitable for industrial and laboratory use

Options

  • Frequency analysis
  • FFT calculation for detections of multiple vibrations modes
  • Selection of zones of interest by waveband filtering
  • Oscilloscope function for time domain analysis
  • Graphic visualisation of frequency domain
