Metal Hardness Tester

Equotip 3

The Equotip 3 is a NEW versatile portable hardness testing solution using the dynamic Leeb rebound technique that was invented by Proceq.

Proceq has combined today's technology with its over 35 years of Equotip know-how and customer feedback to create the Equotip 3 - a portable instrument that offers extended capabilities and unmatched ease of operation.

Features:

• The Equotip 3 is a hand-held device with a rugged shock-resistant housing and sealed membrane keypad

• Large and clear display with adjustable contrast and backlight

• It converts directly to all common hardness scales (HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HRA, HS, Rm); creates and uses another up to 20 customer-specific conversions for uncommon alloys 

• Highly accurate ± 4 HL (0.5% at 800 HL) with automatic correction for impact direction

• Wide measurement range

• Simple operating menu structure and extensive on-screen help files

• Internal storage of ~100’000 measured values in a flexible user-defined file/folder structure

• User profiles for a quick change of test setup (with password protection)

• Down-/upload data from/to PC via USB, Ethernet or RS-232

• Free and easy upgrades of the Equotip firmware and Equolink software via internet

Standardization:

• ASTM A956

• DIN 50156

• DGZfP Guideline "Mobile Härteprüfung"

• VDI / VDE Guideline 2616 Paper 1

Equostat

The Equostat is a practical complement to Proceq’s portable rebound hardness testers as it resolves most limitations associated with the dynamic testing method.

While rebound hardness testers are not suitable to measure very light parts of certain geometries, the portable Equostat is well-suited for testing light, thin-walled or tubular parts.

The Equostat measures according to the Rockwell principle where the penetration depths under a defined preload are measured before and after application of a larger force.

These low-load penetration depth measurements are accurate, rapid and reproducible.

The difference between the before and after penetration depths reflects the plastic deformation and, therefore, the hardness.
