Measuring shot-peening intensity with confidence begins with the Almen Gauge, a precision quality-control instrument used to evaluate the effect of the peening process on metal surfaces. By reading the arc height of exposed Almen strips, the gauge provides a repeatable way to verify that peening intensity meets specified requirements.
Vands Engineering Solutions supplies the Almen Gauge to automotive, aerospace, and heavy-engineering industries across India, where controlled shot peening is critical to fatigue strength and component durability. As a Delhi-based manufacturer and supplier of surface-preparation and coating-QC equipment, we help inspection teams maintain accuracy and consistency in their testing. Choose the Almen Gauge to support dependable process validation, tighter quality control, and confident sign-off on peened parts.
