Hardness Tester

Dec. 19, 2018
Paul N. Gardner's hardness tester measures the hardness of soft metals.

The PosiTector BHI Barcol Hardness Impressor conforms to ASTM B648/D2583, DIN EN 59 and AS/NZS 3572.22. This unit measures the hardness of soft metals such as aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper, brass, and other materials such as harder plastics, and fiber-reinforced plastic.

 

The BHI Tester is solvent, acid, oil, water, and dust resistant; basically weatherproof. Shock-absorbing, protective rubber holster with belt clip and hard-shell carrying case included. Two year warranty on gage body and probe. A Long Form Certificate of Calibration is included. Hi-Res mode increases displayed resolution for use on applications that require a greater precision. The PosiTector body accepts all PosiTector BHI, SHD, 6000, 200, DPM, IRT, RTR, SPG, SST, and UTG probes – easily converting from a hardness tester to a coating thickness gage, dew point meter, infrared thermometer, surface profile gage, soluble salt tester, or ultrasonic wall thickness gage.
