The material tester is used wherever a fast hardness test has to be carried out. It is possible with the material tester to determine the surface hardness of many metals. The material tester is particularly suitable for quality or material inspection. The measured values can be stored in the internal memory and recalled later. Please note that the measured values can only be read from the material tester on the display and it does not offer any readout.
One-hand operation of the material tester allows for convenient use in different locations. Due to its construction, the material tester also offers the possibility to determine the surface hardness in bores or other depressions. The small design of the material tester contributes to the functionality as does the light OLED. The OLED from the material tester shows many functions so that the user directly recognizes which parameters are measured, which measuring direction is selected, and which hardness has been measured.
