Barcol PCE-1000N Hardness Tester

Barcol Hardness Tester for Hardness Measurement

The Barcol hardness tester is used to measure hardness. It is primarily used in the aluminum sector. However, it is possible to test other metals, such as copper and lead. Another area of use is the measurement of hardness of hard plastics or fiber-reinforced plastic materials. The wide measurement range allows for broad measurements. The Barcol hardness tester measures with high precision. Values are indicated on the backlit LCD screen. The digital display of the Barcol hardness tester offers measurement in the Barcol unit (HBa), but also in other units, such as Vickers (HV), Brinell (HB), Webster (HW) and Rockwell (HRB, HRE, HFR and HRH). A typical application of the Barcol hardness tester is in the aluminum sector. This is again due to the large measurement range. This equipment allows testing very soft aluminum to aluminum alloys. The user has the MAX and average value functions as assistance. In addition, it is possible to use the equipment with one hand, thanks to the integrated support that guarantees high stability, while exerting force on the hardness tester with the hand during measurement. Thanks to its battery power, you can easily transport this compact and portable Barcol hardness tester.
