Wide Measurement Range

Leeb D impact devices are best suited for on-site testing of heavy, large or already installed parts.

Broad Hardness Scales Coverage

The measurements are automatically converted to all common hardness scales (HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HRA, HS) as required.

Impact Devices & Accessories

Proceq offers a wide variety of impact devices along with support rings to serve most hardness testing requirements.

Test Blocks Portfolio

Extensive range of precise hardness test blocks available for each impact device with different hardness levels for regular verification.

Adjustable test load

The required test load can be selected by the user in the settings menu. For each measurement series, the force can be chosen from five levels between HV1 and HV5 (~10 N and ~50 N), to fit a wide range of applications. The minimum required mass for reliable UCI measurements is 0.3 kg (0.66 lbs), and a thickness of at least 5 mm (0.2 inch).

Examples:

HV1 - Precision parts, thin coatings, hardened layers
HV5 - Large components, HAZ, forging parts

Optional Special Foot

The optionally available special foot increases the measurement repeatability. It can be used for flat or curved surfaces. For curved surfaces there are two different apertures, one for diameters from 5 to 25 mm and one for larger diameters from 20 to 70 mm.
