Hardness tester

FEATURES

• technique which was invented by Proceq.
• It is a versatile portable hardness testing solution using the dynamic Leeb rebound offers extended capabilities and unmatched ease of operation
• hand-held device with a rugged shock-resistant housing and sealed membrane keypad
• Large and clear display with adjustable contrast and backlight
• It converts directly to all common hardness scales (HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HRA, HS, Rm); creates and uses   another up to 20 customer-specific conversions for uncommon alloys
• Highly accurate ± 4 HL (0.5% at 800 HL) with automatic correction for impact direction
• Wide measurement range
• Simple operating menu structure and extensive on-screen help files
• Internal storage of ~100’000 measured values in a flexible user-defined file/folder structure
• User profiles for a quick change of test setup (with password protection)
• Down-/upload data from/to PC via USB, Ethernet or RS-232
• Free and easy upgrades of the Equotip firmware and Equolink software via internet
• economical and easy-to-use portable rebound tester for hardness measurements on most metals.
• It combines a light and compact design and an innovative impact device D to offer an unmatched price/performance ratio.
• Rapid reload and trigger mechanism and automatic compensation for impact direction (360°)
• Wide measurement range on most common hardness scales (HL, HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HS)
• Immediate display of single readings in large bright digits + average of a measurement series

Applications

• Good for most metals
• Excellent for material selection, acceptance and production level testing
• Ideal for on-site testing of heavy and large components before and after installation
• Handy for difficult to access or confined test locations
• Accurate also on curved test surfaces (R > 10 mm)
• Suitable for most metals. Also useful for curved and recessed sample surfaces
• Quick or manually documented acceptance tests and checks of incoming goods
• Off-site testing (e.g. technical goods purchasing or consulting
• Measurement in confined spaces along process chains (e.g. in heat treatment shops)
• Determination of the hardness of pre-assembled machines or large steel and cast constructions (e.g.  in steel mills)
