Sper Scientific is pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting alongside BRKNDT at the ASNT 2026 Conference, bringing BRK Non-Destructive Testing Instruments to the USA for the first time. The conference will take place October 12–15, 2026, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. Attendees can visit Sper Scientific and BRKNDT at Booth #842. Advanced Nondestructive Testing Instruments BRKNDT develops professional instruments for nondestructive testing, industrial inspection and quality control. While BRK is well known for its coating thickness gauges and specialized probes, its product range includes instruments for measuring material thickness, locating defects, evaluating surface properties and...

Selecting the correct probe is one of the most important steps in obtaining accurate, repeatable coating thickness measurements.  While modern coating thickness gauges make testing fast and straightforward, choosing the wrong probe for your application can lead to inaccurate readings or measurements that simply aren't possible. Fortunately, probe selection doesn't have to be complicated. By understanding the material you're measuring and the type of coating you're inspecting, you can quickly determine which BRK coating thickness gauge probe is best suited for your application. Why Probe Selection Matters Coating thickness gauges work by measuring the distance between the probe and the...

Modern digital oscilloscopes have become dramatically more capable, and manufacturers like UNI-T have introduced instruments that challenge long-held assumptions about what professional performance should cost. The result is a much more competitive market where engineers can select instruments based on application requirements rather than brand reputation alone.

Whether used in laboratories, manufacturing facilities, research environments or industrial workspaces, fume hoods help capture and contain hazardous airborne contaminants before they reach the operator’s breathing zone. Two of the most common solutions are ductless fume hoods and traditional ducted fume hoods. While both are designed to control fumes, vapors, smoke and particulates, they operate in very different ways and are suited for different types of applications.

Modern PID controllers continuously calculate and adjust output power to maintain a precise target temperature with minimal fluctuation.... Choosing the best controller requires understanding several important factors including: sensor compatibility, output types, control accuracy and communication capabilities.
