TIME®5150
The TIME®5150 hardness tester is an extremely compact, integrated Leeb hardness tester (rebound method) with impact device type D. It is lightweight, easy to carry and can be operated with one hand. The instrument identifies the impact direction automatically, so measurement is possible in any direction (360°).
In addition, the TIME®5150 converts the readings into the common hardness scales (HL, HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HRA, HS) as well as into tensile strength and stores 100 groups of data. With comparison measurements, you can create your own hardness conversion table for customised materials.
The high-contrast OLED display shows all important values at a glance. Moreover, the instrument sends the readings wirelessly to a printer via Bluetooth, and the battery is conveniently charged via a Type-C connector.
Features of the TIME®5150
- compact, lightweight unit with integrated impact device type D, one-handed operation
