PTES And Scott Testers

PTES still provides comprehensive service
and calibrations for the full line of Scott
testing equipment, including the DH, IP, J, L,
Q and X series mechanical testers, the NBS
and STI viscometer models, plastometers
as well as a wide assortment of Scott
clamps, grips and fixtures. PTES technicians
have worked on these machines since 1971
and have accumulated the proper
knowledge and techniques required to
ensure that your Scott machine operates
properly and accurately. Few calibrating
firms possess the proper knowledge to
calibrate and service these machines,
which can lead to inaccurate results,
damaged parts and potentially dangerous
operating conditions.

PTES provides companies the opportunity
to upgrade the weighing systems on
existing Scott testers, replacing old analog
dials and charts with state of the art digital
force indicating systems. This can be a
highly attractive alternative to purchasing
a new tester. It provides many of the
benefits - digital display, force gauge or
load cell accuracy and software options - in
a package that is a small fraction of the cost
of a new tester. PTES has upgraded Scott
testers for many years and has the proper
knowledge to correctly mount the new
components so the accuracy and operation
of the machine remains the same.

PTES still manufactures many of the original
clamps and fixtures designed by Scott
decades ago. Many of these clamps and
fixtures are still industry standards today
and are specified in various ASTM
procedures. Using the same fixtures and
clamps provides a consistent reference
point for results across assembly lines and
different locations.

PTES still stocks a large portion of the Scott
offering for parts and can provide the parts
at a far lower cost than sourcing the job to
an outside machine shop. PTES also has the
blueprints, templates and castings needed
to manufacture the parts to the proper
specifications. This is critical with the wide
variety of configurations and variation from
one Scott tester to another.
