PCE-1000N Barcol Hardness Testing Durometer
Barcol impressor hardness meter with backlit LCD, power-saving automatic shutdown, maximum and average functions
PCE-1000N is a portable handheld Barcol hardness testing durometer used to measure the hardness of pure aluminum, soft aluminum, thick aluminum alloy and aluminum sheets, strips, rods, castings and forgings. The hardness of fiber-reinforced (FRP) plastics, glass-reinforced (GRP) plastics, hard plastics and soft metals (such as copper or lead) also can be tested using this battery-powered digital Barcol impressor hardness meter. The digital meter offers a wide measuring range, high accuracy and direct display of the measured values on the built-in backlit LCD. In addition to Barcol (HBA) hardness units, the meter displays hardness measurements in Brinell (HB), Vickers (HV), Webster (HW) and Rockwell (HRB / HRE / HRF / HRH) hardness units. Adding to the meter's versatility is its sleek design, allowing for quick and easy one-handed operation.
