Advantages

• The IRHD Micro Compact hardness tester consists of a test stand with built-in height-adjustable support table for specimens and an IRHD micro test device (ISO 48) with integrated electronics. It can be used for testing O-rings, seals, moldings and hoses; a minimum thickness of 0.6 mm is required.
• A 1-line LCD display shows measurement range, test time and measured value.
• The test time (0 – 99 s) and language (English, French or German) can be set via coding switches.
• At the end of the test time the measured value is shown automatically on the display; the testXpert III testing software enables transfer to the PC via RS232 interface for processing and archiving.
• With testXpert III the test results are automatically transferred to a suitably prepared test report and statistically evaluated. A clear, informative test report is essential for product quality in line with ISO 9000.
• Key plus points:
  - short training/familiarization time
  - short measurement cycle
  - no tedious travel to test starting point “100”
  - rapid setting for series tests
  - no adjustment required
• A special centering station for rubber hoses, a magnifier and a swiveling mount with magnifying lens are optionally available.
