Portable Hardness Testing
 

The completely new generation of portable Wolpert Hardness Leeb type (WHL) Series offer the most affordable but accurate testing solution for on site testing in workshops and in field operation for quality assurance.

The Leeb (also known as an Equotip) test is a modern electronic version of the Scleroscope. It uses a carbide ball hammer that is spring rather than gravity powered. An electronic sensor measures the velocity of the hammer as it travels toward and away from the surface of the sample. The Leeb value is the hammer's rebound velocity divided by the impact velocity times 1000. The result is Leeb hardness from 0 to 1000 that can be related to other hardness scales such as Rockwell and Vickers.

Any metal product with a minimum solid mass of 2 kg or more can be tested in any hardness scale. Test results appear immediately on back-lit display. To maximise friendly use of the instruments on site, the WHL Series are featured with standard batteries and internal memory with RS-232 output. Seven different impact devices and various support rings allow for testing on a wide variety of part geometries.
