A fully mechanical instrument of the highest precision, robust, and maintenance free. The large clearly marked dials on these unique instruments cover a full range of hardness values in Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell a, b, c, and Kp/mm2 covering to national and international standards.
The completely new, entry-level TH-1100, offers a very affordable but accurate hardness testing solution for on-site testing in workshops and in field operation. The unit assures accurate and reliable measurement.
Any metallic products with a minimum solid mass of 2 kg can be tested according to the Leeb principle. The display shows hardness values in all common scales, such as HLD, HB, HRC, HRA, HRB, HV and HS. The instrument is equipped with chargeable batteries that provide 16 hours continuous operation.
Ideal for rapid, accurate workshop use, this quality hand-held, dynamic hardness tester has an extremely wide measuring range and is suitable for most metallic materials. To complement the general purpose ‘Impact D’ tester the Impact C tester is available, designed for testing thinner walled components. Additionally the Impact DL gauge, with a needle front section of Diameter 2.8mm and a length of 50mm is suitable for testing within confined spaces.
The Bowers CV Rangemaster Plus Hardness Tester represents an ideal solution to the problems associated with portable hardness testing. Its clear digital display, ease of use and ability to operate in all major international scales make it the most comprehensive unit of its type currently available. The optional sturdy bench stand adds further to the flexible nature of this ergonomic gauge.
A simplified version of the popular Rangemaster Plus, the Rockmaster shares many of the attributes of the more comprehensive unit and operates in either the Rockwell C or B scales.
Handheld dynamic metal hardness tester with integrated Impact device D.
The ULTRAMATIC 2 is the next generation portable and laboratory use ultrasonic hardness tester. The instrument covers several new advanced features that can be selected from a menu operated full colour display.
CONFORMS TO DIN 50159, ASTM A 1038-05, VDI/VDE DIRECTIVE 2616
Based on the Shore Scale Durometer, these advanced new models provide fast easy-to-read instruments ideal for testing rubber, plastic, leather and all other soft materials. The gauges can be used in hand held mode or mounted onto a sturdy bench stand for improved accuracy and repeatability.
The MET-U1A differs completely from traditional hardness testers: instead of measuring the size of the indentation of the test sample using a microscope, it uses a diamond indenter equipped with a vibrating rod that presses on the test surface at a fixed load and then measures its hardness by applying ultrasonic vibrations and analysing its damping effect.
The technique is very reproducible which makes the MET-U1A a perfect tool for on-site measurements such as maintenance of large scale structures, vehicles, ships, steel towers, bridges, air planes. It is ideal for inspection of thin materials or difficult to get area such as crank shaft metal casts, gears and grooved areas.
The completely new TH-110, part of the unbeatable series of CV Leeb type dynamic hardness testers offers a very affordable but accurate hardness testing solution for on-site testing in workshops and in field operation. The unit assures accurate and reliable measurement. All results and statistics can be directly printed on the built-in printer. Any metallic products with a minimum solid mass of 2 kg can be tested according to the Leeb principle and directly converted to any common hardness scale. All test results appear immediately on the display, while you easily can toggle between scales and conversions.
The new handheld TT-500 Ultrasonic Wall Thickness Gauge offers the ability to measure wall thickness through paint and eliminate coatings. It assures accurate measuring of wall thickness and the extent of corrosion of all metals from the outside. The instrument is especially designed for non-destructive wall thickness measurement of steel structures, piping systems, storage tanks and other parts in order to monitor the wall thickness affected by corrosion. Simple operator controls make the instrument easy to use with very little training required.
The WH Series hand operated WEBSTER Hardness Testers are portable instruments that can perform on-site hardness testing on aluminium alloys, brass, copper and soft steel. A quick and easy test, the hardness value can be read out directly from the indicator with a simple clamp. Suitable for testing aluminium alloy profiles, tubings and sheet materials. Especially suitable for fast, non destructive quality inspection on the production site.
The WH-100 features a fast and comprehensive testing method for testing thin, soft materials. There are several models available for different applications and with different measuring capacity. The Webster hardness values can be converted into the commonly-used Vickers, Rockwell and Brinell hardness values.ach tester is packed in a strong industrial box that includes all standard accessories such as a set of tools, a hardness standard, and a spare indentor.
The HB1500 Portable Brinell Hardness Tester is designed following the Brinell hardness test method. The test force is controlled by a shear pin. After reading the diameter of the indention with the reading microscope, the brinell hardness number can be obtained.
The TC-100 /110 series of compact, lightweight rebar detection systems offer the power of non-destructive pulse-induction technology for the detection and analysis of rebar positions and concrete thickness. The instruments are compact, accurate, solid and can stand the harshest environments. The user interface is easy to operate and does not require special skills. The systems detect reinforcement bars and mesh, to measure their cover depth and to determine the bar diameter.
The TC-300 concrete thickness testing instrument is a nondestructive, batterypowered, handheld system for measuring the thickness and integrity of concrete slabs, pavements, tunnel linings, walls and other plate-like structures. The handheld gauge records thickness information, has a handheld test head for generating and receiving sound waves and a telescoping pole for use on concrete slabs or overhead.
