Hardness Tester HardyTest 1800B
Hardness testing device with integrated impact device type D and/or DL

HardyTest  1800B

The hardness testing device HardyTest 1800B allows you to perform precise hardness measurements even in very small and thin areas (e.g. on gear flanks). Due to its compact design, it is always ready to use and can be carried in a pocket, for example. Nevertheless, it meets all the requirements of a modern hardness testing device. For example, all common hardness units can be displayed.

Properties

  • 2 in 1 Impact Device D + DL for measurements in small or hard-to-reach places
  • Screw-on DL probe (Ø 4 mm, length 50 mm) for hard-to-reach places
  • Wide measuring range
  • Easy to calibrate
  • Very large memory capacity
  • Battery rechargeable via USB cable on PC
  • Can be used under extreme conditions (-40°C to 80°C)
  • Statistical calculation of mean, minimum, and maximum
  • Display, print, and delete measurement data (print via Bluetooth mini printer)
  • Data transfer to PC
  • Software for data analysis
  • Automatic shutdown for energy saving
