Features and Application
3.1
Introduction
This instrument is an advanced state-of-the-art palm sized metal hardness tester with many new features
which are light weight, easy operation, integrated design, high contrast display, low operating
temperature, auto compensating for impact direction and etc. It can be widely used for measuring
hardness of almost all ferrous and non-ferrous metal materials for scale of Leeb hardness, Rockwell C, B
&A, Brinell, Vickers, Shore and Strength.
It has a memory which can be downloaded to computer via USB port or wirelessly. All stored data can be
recalled and read on the tester easily.
The 3.7V Li-ion rechargeable battery inside the tester can be charged via USB from PC or via individual
USB charger from mains wall power. With data software for PC, customers can download measuring
values from the tester to PC and make process such as save, delete, create testing report and export
them to Excel.

Applications
- Hardness tests on installed machines or steel structures: e.g. on heavy and large work-piece or on
permanently installed system parts.
- Rapid testing of multiple measuring areas for examination of hardness variations over larger regions.
Measuring hardness for produced parts at production line.
- Identifying metallic material stored in a warehouse.
- Ineffectiveness analysis of permanent parts, pressure -vessel, turbo generator.
