Description

PCE Instruments Material Tester for Non-Ferrous Metals (PCE-COM 20) is a portable, non-destructive testing (NDT) device designed for measuring the electrical conductivity of non-ferrous metals like aluminum, copper, titanium, and bronze.

Ideal for industrial quality control, authenticity testing of coin alloys, and material sorting, this material tester compensates for lift-off effects up to 500 μm and adjusts conductivity results to 20°C through automatic temperature compensation.
