PiezoMeter System PM300

The d33 PiezoMeter system from Piezotest offers the possibility to measure the direct d33 coefficient for all types of piezoelectric materials. Three types of electrical contact are available for measuring plane-parallel or curved samples. A force of a few Newtons is used to measure the d33-, tan & dgr; – and capacity values.
