Overview

A Portable, Fast, Accurate Hardness Gauge Available in Several Models for Testing Materials such as Aluminum, Brass, Copper and Mild Steel.

Quickly identify tempers.

Tests a variety of shapes that other testers cannot check: Extrusions, Tubing and Flat Stock.

Applications and Features

Applications for Webster Hardness Testers are:

• Identifies heat-treated from nonheat-treated parts.
• Provides correlation between a bench mounted hardness tester and the production line.
• Segregates materials in stock.
• Differentiates between soft or work-hardened material.
• Identifies parts made from improper or substandard alloys.
• Checks for proper heat-treatment response.
• Useful in conjunction with stationary laboratory hardness testers. Gives a rapid 100% check on parts which would consume many man hours with slower operating test equipment.
• Can be used on assemblies that cannot be brought to the labs.

Webster Hardness Testers Feature:

• One hand operation and portability.
• Round 3/8 inch diameter anvil permits testing a great variety of shapes.
• Simple operation permits readings independent of the operator's skill.
• Test is made by simply applying pressure to the handles until 'bottom' is felt.
• Easy-to-read dial indicator with 20 graduations permits use of the tester as 'go' and 'no-go' gauge, or values can be converted to other standard scales.
• Standard hardness gauge tests materials up to 1/4 inch in thickness.
• Increased capacities available up to 1 inch.
