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 ten levels between HV1 and HV10, 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.

Specially For Thin Parts

Particularly suited for scratch sensitive and polished parts or on thin parts, profiles and pipes. The required minimum thickness for a reliable hardness reading is ten times the indentation depth. For the mass there is no minimum requirement.

Broad Hardness Scales Coverage

Measurements in HRC and HV with automatic integrated conversions to HB, HRA, HRB and many more common scales in compliance to ASTM E140 and ISO 18265.

Suits Various Sample Geometries

Unique measuring clamp and support feet are available for the probe allowing tests to be carried out on various geometries.

For Any Environment

The Equotip 550 Portable Rockwell can be utilized for on-site, factory and lab environment with almost no limitation.
