LEEB HARDNESS TESTER NOVOTEST T-D3

Leeb Hardness Tester is used for measuring the hardness of steels, non-ferrous metals, cast iron, materials with coarse-grained structure, and solid products according to ASTM A956.

The Leeb method (ASTM A956) is the world’s most popular method for testing the hardness of metals using a portable hardness tester. Leeb method is also called dynamic method for determining hardness is popular due to its ease of use and the user normally does not need to learn special skills or having any knowledge in the application of hardness measurement,. To perform the test, it is only necessary for the user to charge up the impact body of the device’s probe, install the probe on the tested surface, press the release button of the probe and the hardness value will be displayed on the screen.

This method is recommended for testing large products, weighing from 5 kg and a thickness of 10 mm and more. Sometimes, depending on certain requirements for fixing the product, it is also possible to measure on smaller parts.

The Leeb Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-D3 can be applied for products with a poorly prepared surface (roughness 3.2 Ra and more), as well as for materials with a coarse-grained structure, such as cast iron and others.
