For Advanced and Basic Testing
Applications
The Starrett DFC Series digital force gage can be used as a handheld instrument for basic applications or as a force sensor when used with a FMM Digital Force Tester, MTL and MTH Manual Tester. Listed are the various test methods that can be performed:
• Limit Testing – Use load, distance or a break condition and report results at the limit including maximum load and distance at maximum load.
• Load Average Testing – The load average test measures the load from the start and end of a test sequence.
• Time Average Testing – Set a time duration for a test. When load is measured at the start of the test, the test concludes at the end of the time duration. Average load is measured.
• Cyclic Count Testing – Define the number of cycles, up to
99,999 to be completed.
• Cyclic Duration Testing – Define the duration of cycles, up to 27 hours to be completed.
• Constant Hold Testing – Hold at a distance or load for creep and relaxation results. The maximum duration is 27 hours.
