Impact hardness tester for metals ARW-K100

Digital Ultrasonic Hardness Tester ARW-K100

The ARW-K100 portable hardness tester is an easy-to-use, compact instrument with an all-aluminum structure that uses the ultrasonic method to detect the degree of hardness of metals in the various measurement scales (Rockwell, Brinell and Vickers) with high precision even in particular conditions, such as small spaces or areas that are difficult to access.

The hardness tester is equipped with a large graphic LCD display with backlighting to clearly and precisely display the parameters and a diamond probe positioned on a spring for rapid and precise measurement of metal hardness.

This instrument is equipped with an RS-232 interface and it is possible to connect the device to a PC and read or print the data obtained. Furthermore, thanks to the calibration function, the user has the possibility of calibrating the instrument after use. For example, calibration should be performed when: the device is not used for more than three months, if a substantial change in environmental conditions has occurred, if the probe has made a large number of measurements or if a different calibration is necessary during the measurement.

Main Features Ultrasonic Hardness Tester ARW-K100

• The instrument takes measurements using a diamond tip probe, which is compressed on the test piece by applying a predefined force. It allows obtaining measurements with high precision in areas that are difficult to access or small spaces such as small pieces or thin thicknesses.
• The instrument body is entirely made of aluminum.
• Simple instrument calibration option.
• RS-232 interface with the ability to connect the device to a PC for management and printing of measured data. There is no dedicated software program, transmission occurs only using serial communication programs such as "Hyper Terminal" or equivalent.
• Measurement of statistical values, this allows the user to have an overall view of the results obtained during the measurement.

Available models

• ARW-K100 10N (Complete with 10N probe "1kg") For smooth surfaces, molds and finely machined metal parts, even with thin wall thicknesses and surfaces, gear faces, bearings and pipes.
• ARW-K100 20N (Complete with 20N probe "2kg") For smooth surfaces, molds and finely machined metal parts, even with thin wall thicknesses and surfaces, gear faces, bearings and pipes.
