Electrical current doesn’t always reach its intended destination. Even with perfectly intact and functional insulation, current will be lost along the way. In the real world, perfectly intact and functional insulation isn’t always a given. Insulation wears down from heat, cold, vibration, dirt, and similar forces. Routine testing keeps you in-the-know on whether or not your electrical systems are performing as effectively and safely as …

You could list off thousands of different circumstances where it’s necessary to measure pH, and almost as many tools designed to help with the task.

Running a dissolved oxygen test can be easy. And that’s good given how critically necessary these tests are for any variety of circumstances. Water quality issues can lead to corrosion, biological disasters within an ecosystem, water treatment mismanagement, and much worse. In short, a dissolved oxygen sensor is there to help measure water quality relative to the proportion of dissolved oxygen in the sample. When …

When you’re taking measurements, sometimes the right tool for the job isn’t digital, it’s mechanical. Obviously, there’s a huge number of advantages with a digital balance. Microprocessors can provide stunning accuracy, counting functions, memory functions, and more. But for every digital advantage you can list, you can find just as many for a mechanical balance. The last place you want your expensive electronic instruments is …
