Digital Barcol Hardness Tester

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Digital Barcol Hardness Tester is a portable device designed for measuring indentation hardness, based on the Barcol impressor. It features a digital display for direct reading and offers both low and high configuration options for converting Barcol hardness to other scales such as HW, HV, HBW, and HRE.
Technical Parameters:
  • Display: Digital for direct reading.
  • Indenter: Easily changeable; full-scale calibration adjustment available.
  • Calibration: External mode with a reserved screw for adjusting hardness values without removing the shell.
  • Operation: Single-hand operation with a die-casting alloy shell for comfort.
Standard Package Includes:
  • Tester
  • High and low value standard hardness blocks
  • Calibration wrench
  • Spare indenters
  • Supporting foot
  • Carrying case
Testing Range and Specifications:
  • Range: 0~100HBa, equivalent to 25~150HBW
  • Resolution: 0.1HBa
  • Indication Error: ±2HBa for 42~48HBa, ±1HBa for 81~88HBa
  • Repeatability Error: Same as indication error
  • Power Supply: 3 AAA batteries
  • Net Weight: 1kg
Standard Conformance: Complies with JJG610-2013 and ASTM B648-10(2015).
Theory: The tester uses a steel indenter to press into the surface of a workpiece, measuring the extension length of the indenter when the supporting foot is closed to the surface.
Applications: Suitable for testing the hardness of aluminum, aluminum alloys, fiber-reinforced plastics, and rigid plastics, with a wide testing range equivalent to Brinell hardness 25-150HBW.

Digital Barcol Hardness Tester-1

Te ste r g itai ua rc o I I laraness Digital Barcol Hardness Tester is a portable indentation hardness tester developed on base of Barcol impressor. Comply to standard JJG610-2013 and ASTM B648-10(2015). The theory of digital Barcol hardness tester is to apply with specific shape steel indentor to press in workpieces surface through test force caused by load spring. When supporting foot is closed to the workpieces surface, measure the extension length of the indentor. Digital Barcol Hardness Tester is applied to test the hardness of Aluminum, Aluminum alloys, Fiber Reinforced Plastics and rigid plastics etc. wide valid testing range equivalent to Brinell hardness 25-150HBW. • Single hand operation, easy to take, die-casting alloy shell, comfortable to hold. • Digital display, more directly reading; Low-configuration can directly display Barcol hardness reading results; High-Configuration can converted Barcol hardness to HW, HV, HBW and HRE easily through conversion button. • Easily to change indenter; when testing full scale, if it does not point at 100HBa, just to press the full-scale adjustment button is ok, solve the problem on hard full-scale calibration of Barcol impressor. • External calibration mode, after finishing full-scale calibration, no need to take off the shell, only to adjust the screw reserved on the instrument, then can adjust the hardness value. Tester High value Standard hardness block (1 pc) Low value Standard hardness block (1 pc) Calibration wrench Spare indenters (2 pcs) Supporting foot Carrying case
