Description of Portable Leeb Hardness Tester

Leeb TKM-359CE Controls Hardness of Following:

  • All basic types of metals and alloys without additional calibrations (structural, tool, corrosion-proof, heat-proof, non-corrosive steels and alloys as well as alloys of nonferrous metals, cast iron, aluminum, bronze, brass);
  •  Items with a surface hardening and high-frequency current hardening;
  •  Items of complicated configuration;
  •  Heavy and big items with a rough surface.

Exploitation Advantages

  • Wide range of controlled metals and alloys.
  •  Low sensitivity to the curvative and roughness of the surface.
  •  Monitoring of hardness change along the surface.
  •  Stable measurements independent from force and time of pressing the probe to the surface.
  •  Possibility of material identification in blank production.
  •  Control of “volumetric” hardness.

Features of Portable Leeb Hardness Tester TKM-359CE:

  •  Impact-, dust- and waterproof housing;
  •  Intuitive graphic interface;
  •  The bright color graphic display allows working at below zero temperature and stays bright at any lighting;
  •  Signalization of exceeding of prescribed readings threshold;
  •  A unique system of statistic data processing and averaging of readings;
  •  Fast adjustment of readings and programming of additional calibrations to basic scales by 2 or fewer standard blocks;
  •  Flexible device memory for the recording of readings and their analysis;
  •  Programming of additional scales calibrations of hardness tester by 2 or less standard test blocks;
  •  Fast programming of additional scales by 2 to 10 standard test blocks.

Distinctive Attributes

Distinctive Attributes

Requirements to Controlled Item:

  •  Items heavier than 5 kg and thicker than 6 mm need no additional preparation.
  •  Hard items (eg tubes) with awaited hardness from 90 to 250 HB and thicker than 4 mm need no additional preparation.
  •  Other items should be fixed on a support plate by fixing paste.
  •  Roughness of controlled surface providing best measurement accuracy depends on a probe.

Hardness Testers modes

Measurement mode  Readings  Using
By basic scales Basic hardness units (HRC, HB, HV)  Hardness testing of the bulk of products
By additional calibrations to basic scales By HRA, HRB, HSD scales and ultimate tensile strength Hardness testing of high-alloy steels, special cast iron and nonferrous metals
By additional scales  Scales are programmed by the user Special problems solving

The parameters of the statistical processing of measurements

  • Maximum, minimum, mean value, standard deviation from the mean.
  •  The average deviation from the values set by a user, results are more/less the values, the maximum deviation in the large/smaller side of the value.
  •  Number of results outside the upper/lower limit of range (user specified), maximum deviation from the upper/lower border.
  •  Automatic garbage results, incorrect measurement.
  •  Comparison of results of measurements in the series (the comparison charts on the display of the hardness tester).
