Barcol hardness tester is a kind of portable hardness tester, it has the simple operation by just single hand and wide measuring range, no experience to be needed, test can be finished as long as touching only one side of specimen.
Model 934-1 is the typical model which is in widest application mainly used for rapid hardness test for aluminum and aluminum alloys. It is suitable to test pure aluminum, aluminum alloys, thick pieces of aluminum sheets, thick pieces, bars and assembled aluminum alloys parts (e.g. aluminum alloy doors, windows and ladders); Model 934-1 Barcol hardness tester is also used to test fiber reinforced plastics and hard plastics with ASTM D2583; Model 934-1 Barcol hardness tester complies with ASTM B648-00 Test Method for Indentation Hardness of Aluminum Alloys by Means of a Barcol Impressor. Model 935 is mainly used to test soft plastics, lead, tin and other soft metals. Model 936 is mainly used to test rubber, wood, leather, and other super soft material.
Easy to Use. Single hand operation, easy to use, this barcol hardness tester can make test at any place.
Screw Rod. With sophisticated screw machinery structure to ensure the life and reliability of the instrument is much higher than that of other Barcol Hardness Testers are made of plastic gears by other companies in China.
Hardness Blocks. Every piece of Barcol hardness block is directly imported from the United States. It can ensure the veracity, stability, and uniformity of the measurement results.
Conversion. Through the Barcol hardness conversion table, Barcol hardness value can be conveniently converted to Brinell, Rockwell and Webster hardness values. The Barcol hardness value of rubber material by using 935 and 936 types can be converted to Shaw hardness value.
