Universal hardness tester
TH-174/TIME5104
Quick and easy
The hardness testers of the TH-series are especially suitable for quick and easy hardness measurements.
They are applicable with almost all hardness measurements on ferrous and non- ferrous metals. Costumers of the product include the power industry, petrochemical industry, apparatus-, automotive- and mechanical-engineering, quality control, steelworks and many more.
Features and equipment
- For fast, on site hardness testing
- Integrated impact device DL
- Hardness units: HL (Leeb), HB (Brinell), HRC (Rockwell C), HV (Vickers)
- Large measuring range: 560-940 HLD / 80-881 HV on steel
- Storage capacity up to 270 readings divisible into 9 blocks
- Length of the front part: 50 mm , Ø = 4.2 mm
- PC data transfer via USB
- Adjustable display illumination
- High accuracy: up to ± 12 HLDL
- Automatic shutdown
- Automatic impact direction detection
- Deletion of data automatically or manually
- Limit setting (min. and max. adjustable with an arrow that indicates when limits are exceeded)
Application
Fixtures, dies, molds, large parts, narrow spaces, axles, steering knuckles, frames, etc. Furthermore the device is often used for material identification, and for error checking in pressure vessels and steam turbines. The great advantage of the TH-174/TIME5104 is the availability of getrting to narrow, very difficult to reach parts.
