A Hardness Tester is used to reliably determine the hardness of materials, for example, in quality control or during material testing in the laboratory. The Hardness Tester is compact and suitable for small and medium-sized metal parts. The Hardness Tester can test materials such as aluminum, aluminum-copper alloys, brass, bronze, copper, low-alloy copper, forged copper alloys, stainless steel, steel, forged steel, cast iron, cast steel, grey cast iron, ductile cast iron, and alloyed tool steel. The measurement is carried out with a type D impact device that touches the surface. The hardness values are automatically transferred to the connected software, where they are recorded and evaluated. Settings on the device are made exclusively via the software. The recorded measurement data can be exported directly from the software as an XLS or PDF file. In addition, an upper and lower limit can be set in the software, which highlights the result in color if it is exceeded. The device also has an automatic shut-off function after 220 seconds. Common hardness scales such as HRC, HRB, HRA, HB, HV, HS, HL, and MPa are supported. The Hardness Tester is mainly used by testing laboratories, manufacturing companies, and workshops to check smaller metal parts and document the measurement results via software.
