Application of Impact Devices
Impact Device DStandard impact device for most hardness testing tasks
Impact Device DCExtremely short, for measurements in holes, cylinders or internal measurements on workpieces
Impact Device DLDiameter of the tube in the front part: 2.78 mm;
for measurements in tight inaccessible places and recesses
Impact Device D+15Particularly narrow attachment with recessed coil for measurements in grooves and recesses,
same properties as Type D; only for steel
Impact Device CReduced impact energy, approx. 1/4 of Type D;
for surface-hardened workpieces, coatings, thinly coated or impact-sensitive parts (low impression depths)
Impact Device GEnlarged impact body with increased impact energy (approx. 9 times larger than Type D);
only small damage to the surface; only for measurements in the Brinell range;
for solid material, heavy castings and forgings
