Portable Digital Hardness Tester

The premium Portable Digital Hardness Tester is an advanced metrology instrument distinguished by its exceptionally compact footprint, superior measurement accuracy, wide testing range, and seamless operational simplicity. Engineered specifically for professional metal fabrication, quality control labs, and industrial MRO facilities, it provides a dependable answer for on-site non-destructive testing.

Equipped with state-of-the-art computational processors, this digital tester automatically computes and converts measurements across all major scales including Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell, and Shore hardness values simultaneously. Featuring an integrated RS232 data output and an expansive internal memory capable of logging up to 2,000 distinct locations, it streamlines quality auditing and report generation seamlessly.

Multi-Scale Auto Conversion

Instantly computes and displays precise conversions into Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers, and Shore hardness scales, eliminating manual interpolation errors on the shop floor.

360° Omnidirectional Testing

Advanced impact system engineering allows the testing direction to be set arbitrarily, achieving flawless, repeatable values at any angle — even upside down.

Data Logging & Mean Outputs

Features an expansive 2,000-location memory bank with an integrated RS232 digital interface for direct printing, backed by automated statistical mean calculation capabilities.
