BIT 01P Barcol Impressor

This can be used to quickly measure the hardness of pure aluminium, soft and thick Al alloys, Al strip, Al section bars, Al castings and forgings, soft metals, copper, brass, rigid plastics and in fiber reinforced plastics(glass steel), non-reinforced hard plastics, etc.

Features:

§  Easy one-hand operation for quick measurements on site.

§  Balance positioning doesn’t require any other support for measurement.

§  Avg/max and conversion to HW/HB/HRF/HV/HRH/HRB/HRE scales.

§  Optional Data logging


Applications:

This can be used to quickly measure the hardness of pure aluminium, soft and thick Al alloys, Al strip, Al section bars, Al castings and forgings, soft metals, copper, brass, rigid plastics and in fiber reinforced plastics(glass steel), non-reinforced hard plastics, etc.


 

Measuring Principle:

A needle of specific size is hard pressed on to the sample, and the depth of penetration is measured to estimate the hardness of the sample. Barcol impressor is mainly useful in Aluminium processing industry. Formula: HBa=100-h/0.0076, h-indentation depth, 0.0076-constant, HBa-Barcol hardness.
