What is a Mark-10 Force Gauge? - (800) 344-3921 - http://www.cooperinstruments.com/ - Cooper Instruments & Systems
People are often confused about the difference between weight (mass) and force. Scales measure weight (mass) in pounds (lb) or kilograms (kg), etc. Mark-10 Force gauges, on the other hand, measure force in Newtons. (In the US, other units such as lbf, ozf and kgf are also in use.) One Newton is defined as the force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at the rate of 1 meter per second every second. You can feel this one Newton force by putting a small apple (100 g) on your palm.

On Earth the apple falls at a continually increasing rate of speed called gravity acceleration. Gravity acceleration varies depending upon latitude, elevation and other factors. Gravity acceleration at 45 degrees latitude, sea level is 9.80665 m/S2. In 1901, the General Conference on Weights and Measures set 9.80665 m/S2 as the standard International Gravity Acceleration value.
To account for the variance in gravity acceleration at different latitudes and elevations, scales need to be calibrated at and used at their location. A small apple weighed on a scale calibrated in Paris does not measure the apple’s correct weight in New York.
Mark-10 Force gauges, once calibrated for local gravity acceleration**, will measure the correct force values anywhere in the universe. A 100-lb weight (mass) may produce more or less force than 100 lbf due to the variance in local gravity acceleration. A 100-lb weight (mass) produces 100 lbf force only at the International Gravity Acceleration value of 9.80665 m/S2.
Introducing the 3i and 5i Series of digital force gauges:
The new Series 5i Advanced Force/Torque Indicator will be replacing the popular BGI gauge. In addition, Mark-10 has introduced the 3i Basic Force/Torque Indicator. The 3i is a smaller and more basic version of the Series 5i. Among its many features, the 5i offers: accuracy of ±0.1%, sensor password protection, 7,000 Hz sampling rate, and data output via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo and Analog. In comparison, the Series 3i offers: ±0.2%, a 2,000 Hz sampling rate, and data output via USB only. Both of these indicators work with new Plug & Test ™ technology, which allows all calibration and configuration data to be stored within the sensor’s smart connector instead of the indicator, making true interchangeability of sensors possible.
Introducing the Series 3:
The Series 3 Digital Force Gauge replaces the old MG model and is designed to measure both tension and compression. Featuring a sampling rate of 2,000 Hz, a backlit graphic LCD display, and an ergonomic, reversible aluminum housing that allows for hand-held use or test stand mounting, the Series 3 can be used for testing in numerous applications from 0.12 lbF to 500 lbF.
Introducing Series 4 and Series 5:
The Series 4 (which replaces the old model EG) and the Series 5 (which replaces the old models BG and CG) are designed to measure tension and compression in ranges from 0.12 to 500 pounds. Though similar in many ways, they differ in their sampling rate, resolution and amount of on-board memory.
