FH4-1 In addition to its standard applications, the FH4 sensor is available in specialized versions tailored for specific measuring tasks. Particularly in the medical sector, where measuring small parts with narrow passages is common, the FH4-1 sensor type is ideal. This variant is designed for tasks like measuring the wall thickness of tubes, artificial organs, stents, infusion sets, etc., using a target ball with a diameter as small as 1 mm. FH4-Wire Certain applications pose challenges that preclude the use of measuring balls, often due to the risk of irretrievability within the object being measured. In such cases, the FH sensor offers a unique solution in the form of the FH4-Wire sensor. This variant employs a measuring wire instead of a ball, making it indispensable for testing turbine blades, where the wall thickness can be accurately determined against a wire inserted into the cooling holes. |
