Internal Peening Almen Strip Holder Model IN-19
Measure internal peening intensity without custom tooling. Adjustable and equipped with interchangeable hardened blocks for various hole diameters.
Internal Peening Intensity Measurement Without Custom Fixtures
The Model IN-19 is a free-standing, adjustable Almen strip holder designed to measure shot peening intensity inside bores and hard-to-reach internal geometries-without the cost and lead time of custom fixtures. Featuring a modular system of hardened replacement blocks that simulate bore diameters up to 19 mm, the Model IN-19 delivers repeatable, real-world intensity readings for setup, validation, and process audits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Model IN-19 used for?
Model IN-19 measures peening intensity inside bores and internal features where standard external strip holders cannot be placed, helping you validate and fine-tune process parameters.
Do I still need custom internal fixtures?
No. The Model IN-19's interchangeable hardened blocks cover a wide range of bore sizes, eliminating most custom fixture needs and saving time and cost.
What bore sizes can it simulate?
It supports a large set of block sizes from ?2.5 mm up to ?19 mm, allowing you to match common internal diameters encountered in production.
Is the angle adjustable?
Yes. The device is free-standing with an adjustable angle to position the Almen strip correctly relative to the media stream.
What is included with the base unit?
The base Model IN-19 holder is supplied without replacement blocks. Select and purchase the block sizes you need separately to match your parts.
Which Almen strip types can I use?
The Model IN-19 uses standard Almen strips; choose the strip type (A, N, or C) according to your process specification and target intensity range.
