The
EQUOSTAT hardness tester is a light weight, yet
powerful portable hardness tester for all metallic
materials. The EQUOSTAT portable hardness
tester measures in a similar fashion to the Rockwell
principle where penetration depth under a defined
load force is measured before and after application
of a larger force. The differential between
the before and after penetration depths reflects the
plastic deformation and, therefore, the hardness.
The internal construction of the R5 probe defines
and maintains the major and minor forces by hand
activation. The probe can be used in either a
clamp (as shown below), bench press or freehand.
The EQUOSTAT portable hardness tester then displays
both the native HRZ and converted values for
Rockwell, Vickers and Brinell on a large LCD
display. Mobile and accurate, the EQUOSTAT portable
hardness tester has a large measuring range - from
soft to extremely hard and gives measurements in
seconds. Internal data storage of ~ 6,000 readings
and RS-232C interface make the EQUOSTAT portable
hardness tester a powerful quality tool. |

Applications
of the EQUOSTAT portable hardness tester include
scratch sensitive polished surfaces, hardness of the
heat affected zone in weldments, sheet and coiled
metals, and pieces as thin as 0.008". In
addition to the EQUOSTAT hardness tester R5 probe,
all EQUOTIP® portable hardness tester impact
devices can also be used. |
