Webster hardness tester is a portable, fast, accurate hardness gauge available in several models for testing materials such as aluminum, brass, copper and mild steel.
Applicable for aluminium industries, heat treatment, copper, brass and soft steel.
Features
- Webster Hardness Tester is a portable instrument which can perform on-site hardness testing on soft
materials. By a quick and easy test ,the hardness value can be read out directly with a simple clamp, in
accordance with American Standard ASTM B647 - Used to check the result of hest treatment and determine if the mechanical performance of the workpiece
is acceptable - A test can be completed by one press.
- Model W-20 equivalent to US Model B Tester
- Very fast, very simple and very portable, small indentation.
- Suitable for testing the hardness of aluminum profiles, tubing’s, sheets and other shapes
- Used for testing the with long or heavy workpieces or assemblies inconvenient to be sent to the labs.
- Used to check the result of heat treatment and determine if the mechanical performance of the workpiece
is acceptable. - The Webster hardness value can be converted into the common-used Vickers, Rockwell and Brinell
hardness value. - Different models available for testing aluminum alloys, brass, copper alloy and copper.
