Portable Leeb Hardness Tester | HLD 170 to 960 | ±6% (HLD=800)

This portable Leeb hardness tester reads the rebound hardness of metal parts and converts the result to HL, HB, HRB, HRC, HRA, HV and HS scales, with an indication error of ±6% at HLD=800. It is a split design with a handheld display unit and a separate impact device on a cable, so the probe can be used at any angle, 360° around the part, on castings, forgings and fixed machinery that will not fit on a bench tester. Features and benefits: - Seven hardness scales, Leeb HL, Brinell HB, Rockwell A, B and C, Vickers HV and Shore HS, with unit conversion on the instrument, so one reading serves different drawings and specifications. - Measuring range of 170 to 960 HLD with an indication error of ±6% (HLD=800): suited to checking steel and cast parts against a target value. - Direct HB reading on forged steel when a D-type impact device is used, with no table look-up needed. - Automatic average hardness calculation across a series of impacts: less arithmetic when testing a part in several places. - Data storage with PC software for viewing, exporting and clearing results over the USB data connection: keep a record of every inspection. - Up and down limit alarm, with limits settable across the measuring range: quick pass or fail checks on batches. - LCD with backlight for visibility in bright light or in dim plant rooms, Type-C charging and automatic shutdown after 10 minutes. Applications: - Maintenance checks on shafts, rolls, gears and machine frames in place - Goods-in inspection of forged steel, grey cast iron and ductile iron parts - Testing aluminium casting alloy, brass, bronze and pure copper components - Workshop and teaching demonstrations of hardness scale conversion In the box: - 1 x hardness tester display unit - 1 x impact device (impact body) - 1 x impact pen - 1 x cleaning brush - 1 x support ring - 1 x three needle thread probe cable - 1 x data line Note: Test surfaces should be clean and firmly supported, and the impact device should be held square to the part. Keep the support ring and impact body clean with the supplied brush. Readings are comparative rebound values, so convert and compare them only within the material groups listed for the instrument.
