Products are a vital part of a company as it brings in income and ensures the growth of the company. Obsnap’s products’ are no different as their utmost quality and intense demand retains the continuous success of our company. Obsnap carries a wide range of products under a variety of major categories including:

1. Coating and surface evaluation This group of products is meant to serve the general manufacturing and fabrication industries such as the Automotive industry, the Plastic and Rubber industry as well as the Wood and Furniture industry. These types of industries are in dire need of the products under this group because it is essential for the quality control of their own products in order to meet the standard requirements. The products under this coating and surface evaluation category involve tasks like measuring the coating thickness, and glossiness in order to guarantee consistency in the finished products. This group of instruments is also meant to measure adhesion, hardness and flexibility.

2. Dimensional Metrology This group of products is absolutely essential for almost every industry because they are needed and constantly used by these diverse businesses. The demand for the products under this Dimensional Metrology category is so high because precision in measurement is a reflection of perfection and it is totally crucial in the business world. For instance, a 3-pin-plug would not be able to fit into its socket if at all its dimension is not precise and standardized. The precision and dimension in measurement of the finished goods has to be within the specification required by the customers. The products under this category, which include small equipment caliper up to system like video measuring system profile projector and CMM, lend a helping hand in the tasks of measuring the length, thickness and shape of certain materials.

3. Engineering inspection This category provides products that serve engineering related industries such as the Automotive industry and the Electrical Appliances industry. The products under this category are especially helpful for service engineers and technicians who strive hard to sustain the condition of the machinery that they have to handle in order for the machines to perform at its optimum level. To do this, service engineers and technicians will carry out a program called the preventive maintenance program, in which they repair or replace machines that are on the verge of breakdown. Factors such as the machines’ rotating speed, sound and vibration could be verified by using the products under this category. These engineering inspection tools are also used for quality control especially in the research and developmemt (R&D) sector. Apart from that, this group also provides instruments that help to indicate leakage in the pipeline.

4. Environmental Monitoring Concerns about the safety of the environment are one of the most important issues in our rapidly progressing world. Understanding this, the products under this category cater for companies that need to comply with the safety and health requirements set by the government for them. These products, such as sound level meters, gas detectors, humility meters and thermometers, especially come in handy for safety officers as well as environmentalists. For example, contractors who have to work in sewerage tunnels, have to ensure that there are no hazardous gases in the tunnel before they start working. Similarly, in the oil and gas industry, gas detectors are used to ensure that the working area is void of any explosive gases in order to avoid accidents. Safety factors that the products in this category could detect include sound levels, lighting condition, air quality level and temperature.

5. Liquid Properties This category basically provides products for industries that at one point of their production process had to deal with water. For example, many big plants in industries like the Automotive industry and the food industry, are required by the government to treat their waste water before disposing it. The products in this category help to test the treated water so that it matches the government’s safety requirement. On the other hand, the instruments under this group are used in the Bio-science and chemical industry to measure chemical properties like Ph level, conductivity level, elements in the liquid, total dissolve solid, ion analysis as well as viscosity of the liquid.

6. Metal detection The products in this section are usually used for three main security purposes in different industries: (i) These types of products are regularly used in the aviation industry as well as the hotel industry. Security officers or the police department also often used these types of products to check people thoroughly to ensure that they do not carry weapons of mass destruction or objects that could harm anyone. On the other hand, goldsmiths also use these instruments to detect if any of their staff are smuggling out valuable jewellery from the shop. Example of products would be walk through metal detectors as well as hand held metal detectors. (ii) The waterworks industry and the electric and communication industry often use the products in this category to assist them in their daily jobs. For example, contractors use the instruments under this group to locate underground pipelines in order to avoid hitting it when excavating underground. This type of metal detectors, are also used in treasure hunts by scanning the ground with a hand held device. (iii) The food industry also often use metal detectors such as the conveyer metal detector to identify and detect any form of debris from their finished product to ensure that it is free from any foreign metal and is consumable at the end of the day.

7. Material Testing This category serves any industry that deals with plastic, rubber, metal semiconductor, paper and so on so forth. There are two groups of products under this category: (i) Destructive Testing (DT) This type of testing is required to assess the hardness, compression, tensile strength, flexibility, impact resistance as well as the endurance level of certain material. However, the tested specimen will be destroyed in the process of testing, which ensures the tests are performed thoroughly. Example of product that fall under this category are tensile machine and hardness tester. (ii) Non destructive testing (NDT) The products under this group use technology like ultrasonic, x-ray and Eddy current to detect any internal flaws, cracks or even the tiniest of cavity in a material. For example, when pipes are welded, the products help to identify any cracks in it that is not obvious to the human eye in order to prevent leakage. On the other hand, the aviation industry also frequently uses these products to ensure that the structures of airplanes are not misaligned by minor flaws. One such product under this category is the XRF spectrometer, which is used to detect a hazardous material, called RoHs. The level of RoHs is so crucial that once, a top manufacturing company in China went bankrupt because the hundreds of toys that the company produced and exported to European countries, were declined simply because of the fact that the RoHs levels in those toys were way over the specified requirements. XRF spectrometer could also provide a complete percentage analysis of the components in any products. Some other examples of NDT products include the ultrasonic flaw detector, x-ray machines and the Addy current.

8. Scientific and Laboratory Equipment The products under this category are peripheral supporting instruments for scientific testing and measurement that are usually used for the process of heating, melting, weighing, stirring and mixing. Almost all industries use at least one type of these peripheral supporting equipments. This includes chamber ovens as well as furnaces. Another example of the product under this category is the ultrasonic cleaners which creates vibrating waves to produce extraordinary cleanliness that normal soap cannot achieve.
