Certified Force Measurement for High-Stakes Quality Assurance
The Reed Instruments SD-6020-NIST is a professional-grade, dual-direction force gauge designed to measure both tension and compression up to 44 lbs (20 kg).
This model is bundled with a Traceable Calibration Certificate, providing the verifiable data needed for safety audits and ISO compliance. By utilizing an integrated SD card data logger, the SD-6020 eliminates the need for manual data entry, allowing you to export high-accuracy results directly to Excel for immediate analysis.
Key Technical Advantages
-
NIST-Traceable Documentation: Includes a calibration certificate with full data and uncertainties to ensure your measurements meet industrial and legal standards.
-
Streamlined Data Collection: Automatically log readings to an SD card with time-stamping. The file format is Excel-compatible, requiring no additional software to process.
-
Precision Peak Tracking: Capture the maximum force achieved during a test with the Peak Hold function, essential for destructive testing and component verification.
-
Handheld or Benchtop Use: Features an ergonomic design for mobile inspections and is fully compatible with test stands for repeatable laboratory applications.
Ideal Applications for the REED SD-6020
-
Quality Control & Engineering: Verify that manufactured components meet precise force-threshold specifications.
-
Electronics Assembly: Test the "click-force" of buttons, switches, and the integrity of connector pins.
-
Packaging Performance: Measure the opening force of lids and the pull-strength of high-security seals.
-
Safety Audits: Document the force required to activate emergency stop buttons or latching safety hardware.
-
Spring & Latch Testing: Accurately verify compression and tension rates for mechanical hardware in automotive and aerospace builds.
