How should SEE measurements with a hand-held sensor be performed?
SEE measurements with a hand-held sensor must be consistently applied to achieve trendable readings. Each measurement POINT requires constant sender pressure (2.2Ibs or 10 N force) of the sensor against the machine, the same angle of attack (90 10), the same type of probe coupling (magnetic vs. non-magnetic), clean measurement area (surface dirt and paint can be a problem), at the same place on the machine each time, and good grease transmission between sensor and test surface.
