Portable Hardness Tester

The EQUOTIP 3 is the latest evolution of the popular EQUOTIP series of portable metal hardness testers. With the EQUOTIP 3, Proceq has merged today's technology with customer suggestions – and over 30 years of experience – to create an instrument that is very capable, yet as easy to operate. Applications: EQUOTIP 3 is ideal for production level testing and well-suited to on-site testing of heavy or large components before or after installation - the compact design makes it useful in difficult to access or confined test locations. It is excellent for material selection and acceptance tests and its accuracy (R>10mm) on curved test surfaces is ensured. EQUOTIP 3 is good for all metals and features custom conversions for uncommon alloys. Operation: The instrument measures the Leeb value (L) for materials, which is a ratio of the impact velocity to the rebound velocity. This L value is then converted to standard hardness scales such as Rockwell, Brinell, Shore and Vickers using conversion tables stored in the display unit and generated from the original Leeb block. Versatility: EQUOTIP 3 portable hardness testers can be used with many different impact devices and support rings, which allow for measurement of a wide variety of part geometries.
