134 PORTABLE HARDNESS TESTER

• Portable, accurate, versatile, lightweight & robust
• Applies the full 29 420N (3000 kbf) test force on a 10mm ball - other test forces and indentors available
• Applies the full test force with an accuracy of 0.5%
• May be equally well used as a bench machine or may be taken to the job
• Used in any position - in any location the tester is always accurate. Removeable test head and standard accessories make its application almost unlimited. Special adapters can be supplied

DYNAPOCKET

• Compact, cable free design: impact device and display in one instrument
• Easy on-site hardness testing on solid non-transportable components and even on positions difficult to access
• Operation based on the Rebound (Leeb) Principle with special signal processing technique. The instrument senses the test direction and automatically compensates for gravitational effects
• Easily and clearly arranged operation via two keys
• Hardness measurement independent of impact direction
• Direct readout of the digitally displayed hardness value on a large LCD display
• Display of the single or average value
• Standard conversion tables stored for nine material groups
• Conversion of the hardness value for hardness scales HL, HV, HB, HS, HRB, HRC and N/mm2
• Measurement ranges (material dependant) 150 to 1000 HL, 75 to 1000 HV, 75 to 700 HB, 30 to 100 HS, 35 to 100 HRB, 20 to 70 HRC, 250 to 2200 N/mm2
• Measurement accuracy (standard deviation) +- 4 HL or 0,5 % at 800 HL (average value of 5 measurements related to the average value of the hardness reference block)
• Operates on standard batteries (2 x AAA)

TIV (Through Indenter Viewing)

• Hardness Testing according to Vickers under test load
• Through Indenter Viewing by means of special optics and a CCD camera
• Direct checking and assessment of the quality of measurement by observing the growing indentation on the colour display
• Fully automatic evaluation of the Vickers indentation and determination of the diagonals without detour (via microscope)
• Independent of test direction and test object's material
• Measurement range from approximately 30HV to more than 1000HV (depending on probe)
• Clearly arrange data memory for convenient and structure saving of the test results. Test series can be recalled and edited
