The PCE-950 is a portable hardness tester used to determine the hardness of 10 different metal types (e.g. cast iron, forged steel, cold rolled steel, stainless steel, cast iron, ductile iron, aluminum alloy, brass, forged copper alloy ) according to the Leeb bounce method. In addition to Leeb (HL) hardness units, the metal hardness tester displays hardness measurements in Rockwell C, Rockwell B, Rockwell A, Brinell, Vickers and Shore units. In this dynamic hardness testing method, a small carbide ball strikes the test surface. The quotient of bounce and impact velocity is directly related to the hardness of the material and can be converted into different hardness scales, which were mentioned above. Thanks to the ergonomic design of the small size of the instrument and the integrated impact device, hardness tests can be performed quickly and easily. An internal memory enables the storage of up to 600 measurements and thanks to the included software, it is possible to further process the results on a computer via USB. The PCE-950 is ideal for the internal and external inspection of metal parts, as it can be an essential tool for quality control engineers.
