Designed for automotive manufacturing, mechanical processing, and related industries, as well as laboratories in schools and research institutions. Key models and capabilities - Model A: suitable for hardness testing of low to medium hardness materials. - Model D: suitable for hardness testing of high hardness materials. - Both models use a simple, hand-operated method with an ABS plastic body that is durable and lightweight. How to use - Place the sample on a sturdy surface. - Hold the hardness tester and position it so the pressure foot rests on the sample. - Ensure the test point is at least 12 mm away from the sample edges. - Press firmly so the pressure needle is perpendicular to the surface. - Maintain contact for 1 second, then read the hardness value. Key benefits - Quick and reliable hardness readings with minimal setup. - ABS plastic construction provides durability and light weight for easy handling in busy environments. - Clear distinction between models A and D ensures appropriate testing across a range of materials. Compatible materials and applications - Widely applicable to testing the hardness of metals, rubber, and other materials. - Suitable for quality inspection, factory production, and laboratory work. Use scenarios - Automotive parts QC: verify hardness of stamped metal components during production to ensure meet specifications. - Mechanical workshop or school lab: perform routine hardness checks on various samples for coursework or material comparison. - Research laboratory: evaluate hardness characteristics of metals and polymers in material studies and experiments.
