Hardness Tester TH-170/TIME5100
Professional hardness tester TH-170/TIME5100 with integrated impact device type D

TH-170/TIME5100

The hardness testing devices of the TH/TIME series are particularly suitable for fast and uncomplicated hardness measurements.

They can be used for almost all hardness measurements on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. In general, the devices are used in the power plant industry, petrochemical industry, in apparatus, vehicle and mechanical engineering, in quality control, in steelworks, and much more.
