High-Capacity Precision Force Measurement with Certified Accuracy

The Reed Instruments SD-6100-NIST is a professional-grade data logging force gauge designed to measure both tension and compression up to 220 lbs (100 kg). Engineered for high-stakes testing in quality control and manufacturing, the SD-6100 provides repeatable, accurate results. This specific model includes a Traceable Calibration Certificate to ensure your measurements meet strict international standards and audit requirements.

Key Technical Advantages:

  • Versatile Measurement Range: Handles heavy-duty applications with a capacity of 100 kg, 220 lbs, or 980 Newtons.

  • SD Card Data Logging: Record measurements in real-time onto an SD memory card. Data can be exported directly to Excel without the need for specialized software, streamlining your workflow.

  • Peak Hold & Zero Function: Easily capture maximum force readings in both tension and compression modes for destructive or non-destructive testing.

  • Dual Operation: Features a large, easy-to-read backlit display and can be handheld or mounted to a test stand for increased stability and precision.

Ideal Applications for the REED SD-6100

  • Quality Control & Assurance: Verify the strength of materials, components, and finished products to ensure they meet manufacturing specs.

  • Destructive & Non-Destructive Testing: Measure the exact force required to break a sample or test the integrity of bonds and seals.

  • Product Design & Engineering: Use real-time data logging to analyze the ergonomic force required to operate switches, buttons, and handles.

  • Spring Testing: Accurately measure spring rate and compression force for mechanical assemblies.

  • Safety Inspections: Verify the pull-force requirements for fire doors, emergency exits, and workplace equipment to remain OSHA compliant.
