RUSSELL Fraser Sales has released Proceq’s new Equostat 3 Micro-Hardness Tester for surface layer inspection on scratch-sensitive or polished materials, or on parts as thin as 130μm.
Made in Switzerland, the The Equostat 3 unit displays signal curves as well as operating instructions in real time for easy use. According to Russell Fraser Sales, operating instructions offer workers guidance as to when test loads should be applied and released. This enables users to achieve the most repeatable measurements of any commercially available hardness tester, the company says.
The Equostat 3 probe integrates with the Equotip 3 indicating device to combine in one instrument the Leeb rebound principle with the Rockwell principle. The device can also be connected directly to a PC.
A measuring clamp, magnetic feet and special feet are also available to adapt to most sample shapes.
