The EQUOSTAT Portable Hardness Tester is a light weight, yet powerful portable hardness tester for all metallic materials.
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".
The EQUOSTAT 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, i.e. the plastic deformation and, therefore, the hardness.
The EQUOSTAT then displays both the native HRZ and converted values for Rockwell, Vickers and Brinell on a large LCD display.
Mobile and accurate, the EQUOSTAT 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 a powerful quality tool.
