The Equostat Portable Hardness Tester is a light weight, yet powerful portable hardness tester for all metallic materials. The Equostat measures in a similar fashion to the Rockwell principle where penetration depth under a defined load force is measured before and after application of a larger force.
The differential between the before and after penetration depths reflects the plastic deformation and, therefore, the hardness. The internal construction of the R5 Probe defines and maintains the major and minor forces by hand activation. The probe can be used in either a clamp (as shown below), bench press or freehand.
The Equostat displays both the native HRZ and converted values for Rockwell, Vickers and Brinell on a large LCD display. Mobile and accurate, the EQUOSTAT has a large measuring range - from soft to extremely hard and gives measurements in seconds. Internal data storage of up to 6,000 readings and RS-232C interface make the Equostat a powerful quality tool.
For thin, small, light and coated parts. In addition to the Equostat probe, all Equotip impact devices can also be used.
Equostat, one unit - two methods - a universal instrument.
