Fast and precise measurement of the hardness of metallic materials

HardyTest  D100

The hardness testing device HardyTest D100 is a handheld device with an integrated impact device type D for individual use on site

The size of the hardness testing device is very small and handy, making it ideal for use on large and tight parts. It is perfectly suitable for simple hardness measurements.

The hardness testing device HardyTest D100 is applicable for almost all hardness measurements on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. For use in the power plant industry, petrochemical industry, apparatus, vehicle and mechanical engineering, quality control, steelworks, and more, the HardyTest D100 has proven to be excellent.
