Portable Hardness Testers

Hardness Testing is a widely used method for determining hardness of materials using test methods such as Vickers, Brinell, Knoop, Rockwell, Shore, Clark and IRHD. Portable hardness testers come in a variety of types with the ability to test most metals, alloys and plastics ranging from soft polymers and rubbers to engineering alloys designed for use in the most arduous conditions or most severe operating environments. In addition, Portable Hardness Testers equipment offers a quick and economical supplement to stationary hardness testing in the modern production process.

HARDTEST Portable Hardness Tester



Functions

QUICK: in only 2 seconds the hardness and sigma are measured on large range of metallic products

UNIVERSAL: designed to check sheets, metal rolls, shaped parts, tubes, on aluminium, brass, copper and steel

ACCURATE: products and surfaces down to 0.08 mm thick can be checked. It works using the innovative Affri system which measures the real indentation depth applying constant incremental load rates through a minor and major load ( as in laboratory machines).

Performance:
A new combined tester for Hardness and sigma break tests in one instrument: quick and accurate for production departments without requiring laboratory inspection.
• An invaluable help in the warehouse or factory
• Tests hardness on all type of metals
• Tests the break module sigma
• Does not require adjustment
• Ready for test in any moment
• 10 different conversion scales
• Stores results

    I'm going to look at one and was wondering if anyone knows how to use one so I can test.

    I have used a hardness tester before, long ago, but I don't know if it was an Avery, and can't quite remember the details.

    I think they go like this for test block of 62 HRC:
    Install diamond indenter.
    Install 150kg weight
    put block on anvil.
    move anvil to contact indener until a needle points up (usually a separate needly to the main scale).
    Apply the load (Not sure how ... I remember pushing a button, so the thing was probably electric, but others have levers and knobs, so this is where I really need help).
    Sometimes, I think you have to pre-set the load by moving a leaver or winding the anvil until another scale points appropruately for the C scale. Is this the case for Avery? Then click another leaver or button to apply load sequence.
    Read HRC directly off scale (although some just measure penetration and you need to do a calc like 100 - d/2. I don't think this is case with the Avery).
    Wind the block back down.

    Any tips - just so I can test it sort of works for HRC?

    This is pretty cool. What do you think about a portable surface finisher? my wife really wants me to finish some things in our home, but I don't like the idea of renting or buying a big bulky machine, so I'll probably get the portable one.
