The Leeb Portable Metal Hardness Tester PCE-900 measures the hardness of nine different metals using the Leeb rebound method. This means that with the hardness tester a firing pin bounces on a metallic surface and the intensity of the rebound is used as an indicator of the material hardness. The hardness tester PCE-900 measures the metal hardness in 6 different hardness scales, including: Rockwell, Vickers, Leeb, Brinell and Shore. A distinction is made between Rockwell B and C when measuring in the Rockwell scale.
The Leeb hardness tester PCE-900 comes with a type D impact probe as standard. This probe can be used for many measurements. Via the optional software, the measured values can be transmitted live to the PC. The scope of supply is completed by an ISO calibration certificate which certifies the accuracy of the measuring device with traceability. This makes the PCE-900 Leeb hardness tester an important instrument in the field of material inspection in goods control.
