Reed R9030 Hardness Tester

This Hardness Tester is a portable rebound hardness tester that employs a universal D impact device, state-of-the-art micro-electronic technology, and incorporates microprocessor and data display into a single, compact unit.

• Rebound hardness testing is particularly useful for large, coarse grained materials, forged parts and all types of cast materials because the spherical tip of the impact device processes the characteristics of the casting structure better
• Measures the velocity of a propelled impact body directly before and after the impact onto the test material’s surface; the impact creates a plastic deformation of the surface, i.e. an indentation, due to which the impact body loses part of its original speed – or energy. The ratio between both velocities indicates the hardness of the material (it will lose more velocity when creating a bigger indentation on softer material)
• Capable of automatically converting and displaying measurements into Rockwell (HRC, HRB, HRA), Brinell (HB), Leeb (HL), Vickers (HV) and Shore (HS) hardness values
• Materials that can typically be tested include cast steel, alloy tool steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, copper, cast irons, etc.
• Conversion of measurements to tensile strength (U.T.S.)
• Large capacity memory can store up to 350 groups of information (depending upon impact times) including measurement value, mean value, testing date, impact direction, impact times, material and hardness scale
• Real-time clock
• Mini USB data interface
• Operates on a rechargeable lithium battery
• 128 x 32 dot matrix LCD with battery life display
• Includes: D Impact Device, Small Supporting Ring, Leeb Test Block, Nylon Brush, Battery Charger, Data Processing Software and Communication Cable

Ideal for hardness testing of large and heavy objects; in production lines of mass produced components; materials identification in stores and warehouses; and in locations with difficult access, or in confined spaces.
