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 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 Wrench And Tensiometer Torque Tester?

A Wrench And Tensiometer Torque Tester (TESTER,TORQUE,WRENCH AND TENSIOMETER) is an item consisting of a gage assembly and a lever mechanism designed for bench testing the accuracy of torque indicating wrench handles, tensiometers, and the like.

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 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 a Physical Properties Reference Standard?

A Physical Properties Reference Standard (REFERENCE STANDARD,PHYSICAL PROPERTIES) is simulates structure of item under test to provide a means to calibrate test equipment. May include carrying case.

What is an Ultrasonic Test Set?

An Ultrasonic Test Set (TEST SET,ULTRASONIC) is an item for non-destructive testing using ultrasonic frequencies to test for flaws, cracks, disbonds and the like in metallic and nonmetallic materials. This item uses TRANSDUCER, ULTRASONIC TEST. This excludes DETECTOR, METAL FLAW ELECTRONIC.

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.

What is a Particle Counter?

A Particle Counter (COUNTER,PARTICLE) is an apparatus designed to measure quickly concentrations of particulates in liquids or gas. The count is performed by laser or white light source diffusion.

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.
