Portable Hardness Tester

Product Introduction

The Portable Hardness Tester is a compact, lightweight, and easy-to-use device designed for on-site hardness testing of metals and alloys. It utilizes advanced technologies such as the Leeb rebound method, UCI (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance), or digital Rockwell, depending on the model, to provide fast, accurate, and non-destructive hardness measurements.

Ideal for applications in manufacturing, quality control, equipment maintenance, shipbuilding, petrochemical, and power generation industries, this instrument allows users to measure hardness directly on large, heavy, or installed components  no need to cut or transport samples.

Machine tool guide rails, hardness detection of automobile chassis

Installed mechanical or permanent assembly parts

Workpieces with very small test space such as mold cavity

Rapid inspection of multiple measurement parts in large-scale workpieces

Failure analysis of pressure vessels, steam turbine generators and other equipment

Production line of bearings and other parts

Materials for metal material warehouses

Quality control of heat-treated workpieces

Requires regular original records of test results

Features

Lightweight & Handheld

Weight under 1 kg, making it perfect for field testing and hard-to-reach locations.

Multi-Scale Display

Converts and displays results in multiple hardness scales such as HL, HRC, HRB, HB, HV, HS.

Large LCD or OLED Screen

High-contrast display for clear readings, even in low-light environments.

Data Storage & Output

Stores thousands of test results; USB or Bluetooth available for data transfer and report generation.

Interchangeable Probes

Supports different impact devices or probes for varied applications (e.g., D, DC, DL, G, C types).

The mutual conversion between six hardnesses (HL, HRB, HRC, HB, HV, HS) and the mutual conversion between hardness and tensile strength can be achieved.

It can display measurement values, average values, dates, impact directions, test times, test materials, hardness system and other information, with rich display information.

A host can be equipped with 7 different impact devices, no calibration is required during replacement, and automatic identification is required.

You can enter the test date and code number

It has a display value soft calibration function

Have charging indicator and low voltage alarm functions

Any test results can be printed

Can shut down automatically

Replace the rechargeable battery by yourself
