Hardness Testing is essential in characterizing the mechanical properties of the different materials. It can used in characterizing the new metallic materials as well as evaluating the existing materials in the process. Hardness testing is widely used in many industries such as manufacturing, oil & gas, automotive, aerospace, infrastructure, and more.
Choosing the appropriate portable hardness testing method depends on the task. Selection of the testing method is often based on application either Leeb, Rockwell, UCI or the combination of the three methods.
Leeb
Fast & easy testing method for large size materials
UCI
For measuring when accessibility is limited
Portable Rockwell
Similar to the traditional stationary Rockwell hardness testers, providing the best results
