Environmental factors influence humans, animals and plants as well as buildings and their surroundings. The condition of stored goods, production processes, machines, apparatuses and buildings need to be protected. It is important to maintain a room climate that meets the needs of the users but at the same time does not cause any climate-related damage to the building.

PCE Instruments has added an innovative 5-in-1 environmental meter called PCE-EM 883 to its product range this year. T

Various granules, litter products or foodstuffs must be exposed to a certain amount of moisture in order to remain ready for use or consumption for a long time. Granules need to be stored dry to avoid sticking and remain pourable. Various production steps are also often dependent on ambient temperature and humidity. If the moisture content of the product to be processed is too high, this can lead to poor moulding properties and other problems. Bad conditions can cause a whole series of produc

With the help of picture-in-picture technology, lots of modern infrared thermometers can easily monitor heat distribution.

With the launch of the new infrared thermometer PCE-TC 24, PCE Instruments is introducing an interesting maintenance tool onto the market that measures temperatures within a range of -20 to 380 °C. The temperatures are displayed as real images with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and IR images (infrared images) with a resolution of 33 x 33 pixels. The backlit

PCE Instruments manufacture and sell high-quality sound level meters for any application: from small hand-helds for home use to portable sound level cameras for localisation of a source of noise in large buildings.
A high number of people has to deal with inacceptable noise levels in private and/or work environments. Noise is a very individual parameter and is not clearly definable. It is commonly referred to as dangerous or molesting sound. As noise is perceived quite subjectively, a n

A weather station in a vehicle? Might sound strange but when you go on a camping holiday, a weather station can be exactly what you need when making decisions about where to go next.

Imagine you want to travel around in a camper or trailer. Those who like spending their holidays in more than one place instead of booking a package holiday and staying at the same hotel or hostel every night will understand what it means to be free to change locations whenever they want. Lots of cam

PCE Instruments, manufacturer and supplier of test, weighing, laboratory and control equipment with HQ in Germany and several branches around the world, e. g. in the UK and the US, offers lots of high-end instruments for industrial use but also quite a wide range of low-cost test instruments, especially infrared thermometers for private and professional use which are very popular. PCE’s infrared thermometers include about 8 models which cost less than 100 GBP and some above that which a

The new PCE-ISFET pH meter from PCE Instruments has been designed for food applications. The glass free electrode makes it particularly safe to use in food production as no glass splinters can get into the food if the electrode breaks. Unlike glass pH electrodes, ISFET pH sensors are highly resilient and do not require wet storage. They give reliable results under tough conditions. The PCE-ISFET pH tester’s highly sensitive electronics can achieve a resolution and accuracy of 0.00

Air flow meters are used to measure air velocity and air pressure. Depending on the type of application, air flow meters are made as hot-wire air flow meters or pocket weather flow meters, both of which can measure air velocity and air pressure. The results of measuring the air velocity can be stored in the memory of the device depending on the model. There are even data loggers for air velocity available. Air flow meters are ideal for taking quick or constant measurements. Y
