Portable, Fast and Reliable
Portable hardness testing provides simple, quick, reliable and economical testing on location. QI Services provides portable testing using the dynamic impact rebound method.
Applications for Hardness Testing
Often used for quality control or failure analysis, determining the hardness of metals can provide valuable, non-destructive information about strength properties.
- Verify conformance to contract, code or specifications
- Verify proper heat treatment
- Determine structural integrity and material properties
- Measure hardness differences or consistency
Hardness testing of metals is frequently required by specifications to help determine properties such as abrasive resistance, brittleness, ductility, yield and tensile strength.
Advantages
- Portable testing provides easy inspection of assembled machines, steel, cast construction
- Test marks on metal surfaces are minor
- Impact direction effects can automatically compensate to allow testing in any position
- Direct display for instant results
- Recorded memory for data transfer of test series
- Rapid conversion to multiple hardness scales by material groups or specified ranges
