Highlights:
- For use with cast steel, hammered steel, cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, cast iron, ductile iron, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze and forged copper alloy metals
The PCE 950 Electronic Metal Hardness Tester is designed to measure the hardness of 10 different types of metal, including cast steel, hammered steel, cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, cast iron, ductile iron, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, and forged copper alloy, using the Leeb rebound method. In addition to displaying Leeb hardness (HL), the tester provides hardness readings in Rockwell C, Rockwell B, Rockwell A, Brinell, Vickers, and Shore hardness units. This dynamic testing method involves a small carbide ball striking the test surface, with the ratio of rebound to impact velocity being directly correlated to material hardness, which can then be converted into various hardness scales (e.g., HRC, HRB, HRA, HB, HV, and HS).
Thanks to the measuring instrument's compact pocket-sized ergonomic design and integrated impact device, hardness tests can be performed quickly and easily in the field and on the manufacturing production floor. An internal memory offers storage for up to 600 readings, and the included PC-compatible software and USB cable allow for simple and efficient data transfer to a computer for documentation and analysis of hardness test results. Ideal for the incoming and outgoing inspection of metal parts and components, the PCE-950 hardness tester is an essential tool for machinists and manufacturing quality control and assurance professionals.
