Equotip Rockwell Portable Hardness Tester
Product Description
Product Features
Specially For Thin Parts
Particularly suited for scratchsensitive and polished parts or on thin parts, profiles and pipes. The required minimum thickness for a reliable hardness reading is ten times the indentation depth. For the mass there is no minimum requirement.
Broad Hardness Scales Coverage
Measurements in HRC and HV with automatic integrated conversions to HB, HRA, HRB and many more common scales in compliance to ASTM E140 and ISO 18265.
Suits Various Sample Geometries
Unique measuring clamp and support feet are available for the probe allowing tests to be carried out on various geometries.
For Any Environment
The Equotip 550 Portable Rockwell can be utilized for on-site, factory and lab environment with almost no limitation.
The Rockwell Measuring Principle
The test principle of the Equotip Portable Rockwell follows the traditional Rockwell static test method. During measurements with the Equotip Portable Rockwell Probe, a diamond indenter is forced into the test piece using a precisely controlled force. The indentation depth of the diamond is continuously measured while a load is applied and released. From the indentation depths d1 and d2 recorded at two defined loads, the difference is calculated: Δ = d2 d1. This is traditionally referred to as plastic deformation.
