GaugeBuster is a low cost indicator designed to replace dial gauges on materials testing machines. Features include an Auto-Test-Reset mode for hands free operation, bar graph load rate display, permanent storage of test data and easy transfer of results into data base programs. It's accuracy, which exceeds ASTM E4, ease-of-use and ruggedness results in a system of unrivaled price/performance.

Gauge Buster is ideal for:

• Upgrades to Dial Indication Systems
• Beam Bend Testing
• Concrete Testing
• Force Calibration
• Remote On-Site Testing
• Quality Control
• Product Evaluation
• Proof Testing

Features:

• Display Live Load and Peak Load numerically.
• Indicate Load Rate with a bar graph. The rate pointer moves between its limits. Decreasing the rate moves the pointer left. Increasing the rate moves the pointer right.
• Adjust the upper and lower rate limits depending on the testing requirements.
• Select between engineering units of Lb, N, kN, and kg.
• Define and detect the end of test with the Sample Break Detector.
• Auto-Test-Reset which automatically enables the indicator for the start of the next test without requiring operator interaction.
• Store up to 400 test results to permanent memory. Results include Date, Time, Specimen ID#, Peak Load, plus a statistical summary of Peak Load.
• Activate Auto-Store to automatically store the results of each test.
• Activate Auto-Transmit to automatically transmit the results of each test out the serial communications port.
• Transmit results to a printer or remote computer through the serial communications port.
• Store up to four load cell calibrations for multiple load cell systems. The load calibration algorithm allows up to 5 calibration points per cell with piecewise linear fit between points. Accuracy exceeds ASTM E4 Standards and in general is greater than 0.5% from 1% of full scale to full scale.
• Digital output activates at sample break or machine overload.

Accessories:

• WinCom Windows based serial communications software to import data into spreadsheet and database programs.
• Battery Pack for portable applications.
• Shunt Calibration.
• Serial RS-232 Printer.
• Pressure Transducers - 1,000 2,500 5,000 10,000 psi.
