The PCE Instruments PCE-2000N durometer uses the Leeb rebound method. This is a dynamic hardness test method in which a standardized test specimen, usually a hard metal ball, is hit with defined impact energy on a test surface.

  • Measurement according to Leeb Rebound method
  • Hardness scales: HL (Leeb), HV (Vickers), HB (Brinell), HS (Shore), HRA (Rockwell A), HRB (Rockwell B), HRC (Rockwell C)
  • Measurement Range: 170-960 HLD, 80-1042 HV, 19-683 HB, 30.6-102.6 HS, 59.1-88 HRA, 13.5-101.7 HRB
  • External impact device on 1.5 m / 4.9 ft cable
  • Accuracy: ± 0.5% (@ 800 HLD), Repeatability: 0.8% (@ 800 HLD)
  • Storage data measurements on a USB stick
  • Color display, Measurement in different angles possible, Various other impactors as accessories
  • Incl. ISO calibration certificate

The Metal Hardness Testing Durometer PCE-900-ICA measures the hardness of nine different metals using the Leeb rebound method. This means that with the material hardness tester a firing pin bounces on a metallic surface and the intensity of the rebound is used as an indicator of the material hardness. The Metal Hardness Testing Durometer measures the metal hardness in 6 different hardness scales. 

  • Measurement according to Leeb Rebound method
  • Testing of HRC, HRB, HV, HB, HSD
  • Measurement Range: 200-900 HLD / 13-99 HRB / 20-68 HRC / 20-655 HB / 80-940 HV / 32-99 HSD
  • Accuracy: 0.80% / Repeatability: 1.10%
  • Incl. type D Leeb probe
  • Optional Software Available
  • incl. ISO Calibration Certificate
