EQUOTIP® 550 Portable D.I.D. (Rockwell Principle)
EQUOTIP® 550 Portable D.I.D. (Rockwell Principle)
Equotip enables portable hardness inspection of almost any object, polished parts and heat-treated surfaces. The hardness measurements are made by using the static Portable D.I.D. (“Rockwell” principal) hardness test. The rugged Swiss-made metal NDT hardness testers are designed for portable hardness testing in the lab, in the workshop, at production facilities or on site.
Applications:
Hardness testing of thin metal sheets and wires / Hardness testing of casts, flanges, shafts, and bars/pipes / Quality and wear control of turbine blades and brake systems
Special Features
- Specially For Thin Parts
- Particularly suited for scratch-sensitive and polished parts or on thin parts, profiles and pipes. The required minimum thickness for a reliable hardness reading is ten times the indentation depth. For the mass there is no minimum requirements.
- Suits Various Sample Geometries
- Unique measuring clamp and support feet are available for the probe allowing tests to be carried out on various geometries.
- Broad Hardness Scales Coverage
- Measurements in HRC and HV with automatic integrated conversions to HB, HRA, HRB and many more common scales in compliance to ASTM E140 and ISO 18265
- For Any Environment
- The Equotip 550 Portable Rockwell can be utilized for on-site, factory and lab environment with almost no limitation.
- No thickness limitation of tested objects – perfect for thin metal sheets
- Faster than stationary Rockwell hardness testers, yet very accurate
- Purely material-independent method thanks to the direct measurement of the indentation depth
