Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can Kern FK series meters measure both pull and pressure?
Yes, the Kern FK digital power measuring units are versatile instruments designed to accurately measure both tensile (pull) and compressive (pressure) forces.
2. What is the benefit of using the AFH FAST software?
Kern AFH FAST software allows for high-speed data capture, which is essential for capturing peak forces during rapid break tests or for creating detailed force-displacement profiles.
3. What is the difference between the FK and FH models?
While both provide digital force measurement, the FH series (like the FH 20) often includes more advanced internal memory features and higher resolution for specialized laboratory applications compared to the standard FK series.
4. Do these units come with attachments for different samples?
Most Kern force meters are supplied with a standard set of hook and pressure plate attachments. For unique sample geometries, specialized grips and fixtures can often be sourced separately.
