    Portable Digital Hardness Testers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hardness Testers. Portable Digital Hardness Testers.
    Quickly test large parts or metal bar stock with our most precise hardness testers. These testers are portable and can be brought to facilities and jobsites to test items that are too large to move. While some hardness testers only work on one type of metal, these testers work on most metals. They have a rebound hammer that bounces back after impact—the distance it rebounds indicates the hardness of your surface. To obtain accurate readings, steel and other hard metals must be at least 1” thick and aluminum and other soft metals must be at least 3” thick.
    Convert your measurements between Rockwell, Vickers, Brinell, or Shore hardness ratings. Your readings will show on a backlit digital display so you can test even in low light. Store up to 100 measurements with their built-in memory or transfer the data to your PC using the USB port.

    Measure the hardness of flat materials, such as plastic, rubber, and laminate.
    Style 2—Style 2 testers have a narrow base for access to confined areas. You can hold them in your hand.
    Style 3—Style 3 testers come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy.
    Maximum-Reading Indicator—Testers with maximum-reading indicator hold the highest reading until reset.
    Operating Stands—Mount these testers to an operating stand (sold separately) to make sure they’re parallel to your sample for accurate readings and repeatability.

    Measure the hardness of flat materials with a digital display.
    These testers come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy. A maximum-reading indicator holds the highest reading until reset. Use the USB/RS-232 port for direct connection to your PC.
    Operating Stands—Mount the tester to an operating stand (sold separately) to ensure it is perfectly parallel to the sample. This reduces error and gives accurate, repeatable readings.
