Alarm, auto recognition of impact device, data storage, installable software, multi-angle testing, preset limit settings, thermal printer, user material function, and pen type.

GAO Tek’s hardness testers have the following applications in the public administration industry:

Infrastructure Inspection: Public administration entities responsible for infrastructure maintenance (roads, bridges, etc.) may use GAO’s hardness testers to assess the hardness and durability of construction materials. This information can help in planning maintenance schedules and ensuring the longevity of public structures.
Safety Inspections: GAO Tek’s hardness testing can be used in safety inspections of public spaces and facilities. For instance, ensuring that public seating, playground equipment, or railings meet specific hardness standards to guarantee safety for citizens.
Vehicle Inspections: GAO Tek’s hardness testing may be applied in the inspection of public vehicles, ensuring that critical components like axles, frames, and other metal parts meet safety standards and are resistant to wear and tear.
Material Quality Assurance: Public administration departments involved in procurement or construction projects may use GAO’s hardness testers to verify the quality of materials used by contractors. This ensures that the materials meet the specified hardness requirements for durability and safety.
Asset Management: GAO Tek’s hardness testing could play a role in asset management practices for public-owned structures and equipment. By periodically assessing the hardness of key components, administrators can make informed decisions about repairs, replacements, or upgrades.
Environmental Compliance: Public agencies responsible for environmental monitoring may use GAO’s hardness testing to assess the impact of industrial activities on natural resources. For example, testing the hardness of sediment in water bodies could provide insights into pollution levels.

Public Safety Equipment: For public safety departments, GAO’s hardness testing might be relevant in ensuring the durability of equipment such as handcuffs, batons, or other tools used by law enforcement.
