Portable hardness tester e-handy
The e-handy portable hardness tester is the ideal solution for those seeking precision and reliability in hardness measurements. Based on the patented ESATEST® principle by ERNST, e-handy uses an innovative testing method that leverages the correlation between penetration depth and residual electrical resistance. This advanced method generates a precise measurement curve as the applied load varies, allowing the hardness tester to accurately determine hardness by comparing the curve with a previously acquired calibration.
Key Features
- Principle based on the measurement of electrical resistance - Tests in points inaccessible to traditional hardness testers: gears, couplings, cavities, interiors, weld seams, HAZ (Heat Affected Zone)
- 1 diamond indenter for the entire range of metals - Simplicity and speed of the testing process
- Continuous measurement of hardness at various loads - Immediate evaluation of the surface heat treatment - A single tool --> Various detections
- ACCREDIA certification (ILAC MRA-Mutual Recognition Arrangements) - Offers a competitive advantage in markets where certification is required
