Resistance & Temperature Measurement

Resistance & Temperature Measurement from Cropico

There are several reasons why the resistance of material needs to be measured in the automotive industry, particularly measuring the resistance of electrically powered equipment like robot welding cables to ensure the weld quality does not deteriorate.

Others include the measurement of battery lead crimp connectors, the resistance of air bag detonator, resistance of wiring harnesses and the quality of crimp connectors on components.

The ability to make accurate and reliable measurements is therefore crucial but, with the values involved usually very low - often down to milliohms - the key requirement is to understand and eliminate potential sources of error from the measurement process.

To achieve this Cropico, the specialist supplier of precision measurement equipment, offers a range of advanced, precision instruments capable of meeting the demanding requirements of the automotive production environment.

The Cropico Series 4000 digital ohmmeter range provides a practical solution for a wide range of low resistance measurement applications.

The portable and rugged instrument includes a number of advanced features to ensure measurement accuracy including forward and reverse current measurement with auto averaging, true current zero, long scale length and a selectable measurement range from 40mohms to 4k ohm with respective resolutions between 10m ohm and 1ohm.
