A Spring Resiliency Tester (TESTER,SPRING RESILIENCY) is an apparatus, device, or instrument which is specifically designed for testing spring resiliency by subjection to the desired strain and indicating this force in units of weight. Indication may be by means of a dial, graduated scale, a pressure gage, a weighing scale, or by the graduated scale of a torque indicator wrench. The force may be applied mechanically, hydraulically, or manually. May have a fixed or adjustable platform load receiver. Excludes SCALE (as modified).

What is a Supersonic Test Transducer?

A Supersonic Test Transducer (TRANSDUCER,SUPERSONIC TEST) is an item specifically designed to transmit supersonic frequency wave motion energy to another item under test, and to receive components of reflected energy, the characteristics of which when interpreted on an associated indicator, provides facilities for the determination of flaws or other irregularities of the item under test. Does not include the indicator. See also TRANSDUCER, MOTIONAL PICKUP and DETECTOR, METAL FLAW, ELECTRONIC.

What is a Dial Indicating Tensiometer?

A Dial Indicating Tensiometer (TENSIOMETER,DIAL INDICATING) is an instrument designed to measure the tension on cable, wire and the like by means of a tension indicating mechanism with a device for attaching the material to be measured. See also TESTER, MATERIAL STRENGTH.

What is an Extensometer?

An Extensometer is an instrument designed to measure tension and compression strains of structural members.

What is a Material Strength Tester?

A Material Strength Tester (TESTER,MATERIAL STRENGTH) is an instrument designed for testing by measuring the tensile strength of fabric, yarn, leather, wire, metal, paper and similar materials. May also be designed to make compression and/or elongation test. See also TENSIOMETER, DIAL INDICATING.

What is a Material Hardness Tester?

A Material Hardness Tester (TESTER,MATERIAL HARDNESS) is an instrument designed to measure the hardness of metals, plastics, rubber, and other solids, by methods based on resistance to penetration by an indenter of greater hardness than the material being tested.

What is a Metals Examining Ultraviolet Light?

A Metals Examining Ultraviolet Light (LIGHT,ULTRAVIOLET,METALS EXAMINING) is an item specifically designed for use in determining the existence of seams, cracks and other types of flaws in metals. It consists of an ultraviolet light source such as a mercury-vapor lamp, in a housing usually incorportating a pistol-grip handle, and a filter for the exclusion of visible light. See also DETECTOR, METAL FLAW, ELECTRONIC.

What is a Moisture Content Detector?

A Moisture Content Detector (DETECTOR,MOISTURE CONTENT) is an electrical or battery operated device for the measurement of moisture and its percentage in wood, plaster, brick, concrete, paper, grain, and the like, without marring the sample. Item may be portable or transportable and uses various types or electrodes, or radio-active source to take readings.

What is an Eddy Current Probe?

An Eddy Current Probe (PROBE,EDDY CURRENT) is an item with or without attaching cable designed to detect flaws, cracks and the like on surface or near surface metals. Establishes a magnetic field through the probe coil and locates the resulting magnetic disturbance in the item under test. Used in conjunction with DETECTOR, METAL FLAW, ELECTRONIC. Excludes PROD, TEST.

What is an Ultrasonic Test Transducer?

An Ultrasonic Test Transducer (TRANSDUCER,ULTRASONIC TEST) is an item designed to convert electrical signals into mechanical vibrations or ultrasound beams. These signals are passed through a material and are reflected and scattered by any discontinuities (flaws) back to the receiving unit where they are reconverted to electrical signals and amplified for processing on an indicator for interpretation. See also TRANSDUCER, SUPERSONIC TEST.

What is an Electronic Metal Flaw Detector?

An Electronic Metal Flaw Detector (DETECTOR,METAL FLAW,ELECTRONIC) is a non-destructive electromagnetic device which introduces eddy current in a part(s) to be inspected. Changes in the current flow caused by surface variations in the part are reflected into a nearby coil(s) where they are detected and measured by suitable instrumentation which is provided. See also FLUORESCENT PENETRANT INSPECTION UNIT; MAGNETIC INSPECTION UNIT (as modified); TRANSDUCER, ULTRASONIC TEST; X-RAY APPARATUS, RADIOGRAPHIC, INDUSTRIAL.

What is a Torque Wrench Tester?

A Torque Wrench Tester (TESTER,TORQUE WRENCH) is an item consisting of a drive, adapter, torque indicator and calibration equipment designed to verify torque handle settings in increments of pound-inches on an indicator dial. Excludes TESTER, TORQUE, WRENCH AND TENSIOMETER.

NATO Supply Class 6635 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 66, which is dedicated to Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.

NATO Supply Class 6635 specifically focuses on Physical Properties Testing And Inspection. This class includes a wide range of instruments and equipment used for testing and inspecting the physical properties of various materials and substances.

Some examples of items that fall under NATO Supply Class 6635 include:

1. Analytical balances: These are precision instruments used to measure the mass of substances with high accuracy.

2. Viscometers: These instruments are used to measure the viscosity or flow properties of liquids.

3. Tensile testing machines: These machines are used to determine the tensile strength and other mechanical properties of materials.

4. Thermometers: Various types of thermometers, such as mercury-in-glass thermometers or digital thermometers, are used to measure temperature.

5. pH meters: These instruments are used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

6. Spectrophotometers: These devices are used to measure the intensity of light at different wavelengths, allowing for the analysis of substances based on their absorption or emission of light.

7. Gas chromatographs: These instruments are used to separate and analyze the components of a gas mixture.

These are just a few examples of the types of instruments and equipment that fall under NATO Supply Class 6635. The class encompasses a wide range of tools used for testing and inspecting the physical properties of materials in laboratory and industrial settings.
