Reading the measured value

Evaluation of the test results 

The  mean  value  of  5  valid  test  points  can  be  recorded  as  a  test  result  of  the  Leeb 
hardness. 

 

What the measurement result expresses 

- The hardness value appears on the display above HL (the Leeb hardness symbol). 
The type of rebound sensor can be read to the right after the letters HL. For example, 
700HLD means that the hardness is 700, measured with the rebound sensor D. 
-  For  other  hardness  types  into  which  Leeb  hardness  has  been  converted,  the 
corresponding hardness symbol should be added before the Leeb hardness symbol. 
Go to 
Example 400HVHLD, which states that the Vickers hardness value is 400, which was 
converted from the Leeb hardness value measured with the rebound sensor D. 

Important note: 
HL values measured with different types of rebound sensors are different. 
For example: 700 HLD does not equal 700 HLC!
