 ( e.g. steel, aluminium etc.) the L-value represents a direct 
hardness  measurement  and  it  is  used  as  such. 
Comparison  curves  with  standard  static  hardness  values 
have  been  established  (Brinell,  Vickers,  Rockwell  C,  B, 
Shore D) for the most prevalent materials, enabling the L-
value  to  be  converted  into  the  relevant  values  for  these 
procedures.  With  HN-D,  such  hardness  values  can  be 
directly displayed in the hardness scales HLD, HRC, HRB, 
HB, HV, HSD. 
 

1.3 Features 
 

-  HN-D  ist  he  most  advanced  integrated  tester  (which 
means that the impact device D is integrated): no cables 
- Integrated impact direction sensor 
-  High  accuracy  (±  4  HL)  in  any  impact  direction  (360°)  – 
automatically 
-  Integrated  display  of  results  for  all  common  hardness 
scales 
-  Large  high-contrast    LCD  for  an  optimum  viewing  in  all 
conditions 
-Easy calibration 
- Full USB communication with PC, internal storage of data 
with day and time 
- Rechargeable Li-ion battery, charges through USB port 
- Intelligent sleep mode 
- Wireless (Bluetooth) to mini printer possible 
 

1.4 Applications 
 

- Convenient for all materials 
- Best suited for on-site testing of heavy, big or already    
   installed parts 
- Handy for difficult to accessor confined test locations 
- Automatic sensing and compensation for impact direction 
- Excellent for material selection and acceptance  tests.
