Hardness tester PCE-2000

PCE-2000 (type D impact) portable hardness tester is used for quickly testing surface hardness of metalic materials according to the parameters: Rockwell B & C, Vickers HV, Brinell HB, Shore HS and Leeb HL. The hardness tester has a statistics function, a data storage function, and the interface RS232 to send data to the PC (software and cables included in the shipment). The hardness tester can be used in any position, including on a mount, with angle selection and adjustment. The striking unit fits easily on top of the item being measured. With the external digital indicator showing all the functions and readings, there is no way of making errors in the measurements. Technical specifications can be found further down this page. I

- Measures all the standard parameters - External striking instrument (1.5m cable) - Large measurement range - Highly accurate - Can measure in any position or angle - RS-232 interface - Software and data cable included. Principle of measurement for Brinell hardness testers: The dynamic measurement process uses the difference between the rebound velocity of a small striking pin. This is shot at the metal surface being measured from the device by way of a tension spring. Hardness testers can be used for: steel, cast steel, cold cast steel tools, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium, brass, bronze and forged metals. Measurement conditions: Minimum surface measurable 10 x 10mm Minimum radial curvature of measurement surface r = 30mm without adaptor, with adaptor screw and v-slot the minimum radial curve is 10 mm For working pieces less than 5kg and wall thickness of less than 5mm, the device should be fastened to a solid base before using it to measure hardness Working pieces of less than 2kg have to be attached to a solid base using coupling gel. The minimum weight of the material is 50 g, the minimum thickness is 3 mm, and the minimum depth of hardness is 0.8 mm. - Internal memory of 100 groups of data - An array of adaptors available as well as optional striking instruments PCE-2000 (type D impact) View or print the user's manual

Like the PCE-2000 (impact D) hardness tester, it comes with an RS-232 interface, which can be connected to a computer to allow for data to be archived. Data saved to the memory of the device can also be sent to a computer for analysis and documentation. You will find software in the optional accessories further down this page.
