Digital Barcol Hardness Tester LBHT-A10

The Digital Barcol Hardness Tester LBHT-A10 is specifically designed to test the hardness of aluminium, aluminium alloys, soft metals, and fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) materials. It performs efficiently across a wide range of hardness values, making it suitable for both low- and high-hardness materials. The device is highly sensitive and capable of detecting minor differences in material hardness. Its structure allows testing of irregular, large, or thick workpieces that may not fit standard fixtures. This makes the tester versatile for use in automotive, aerospace, construction, and materials research industries.

Yes, the Digital Barcol Hardness Tester LBHT-A10 is well-suited for field applications due to its lightweight construction, weighing only 550 grams. Its compact, handheld design allows easy portability and operation in confined or remote environments. One-handed operation makes it convenient to use, especially for on-site inspections or maintenance tasks. There is no need for complex setup or calibration during each use, saving time in field scenarios. These features make it an ideal choice for engineers, technicians, and inspectors conducting mobile hardness testing in industrial or outdoor environments.

The Digital Barcol Hardness Tester LBHT-A10 supports automatic conversion between multiple hardness scales including HW, HV, HB, HRE, HRF, HRB, and HRH. This feature enables users to compare results across various testing standards without additional calculations. It enhances the device’s utility for quality control processes where materials are tested using different international standards. Engineers can quickly interpret results in the scale most relevant to their application or client requirements. The conversion function ensures accuracy and flexibility when dealing with diverse material types and specifications.

Yes, the Digital Barcol Hardness Tester LBHT-A10 is equipped with both data retention and averaging functions to support comprehensive analysis. During testing, the device records and holds the highest measured hardness value for user reference. It can also calculate the average of up to 29 separate test readings, offering a reliable statistical overview of material consistency. This is especially beneficial in batch testing or quality inspections where multiple data points are required. By reducing the need for manual record-keeping and calculations, it increases efficiency and data accuracy.

The Digital Barcol Hardness Tester LBHT-A10 is designed for direct use on large, curved, or complex-shaped components without the need for external support or fixtures. Its structure and measurement mechanism allow for stable readings even on non-flat or oversized surfaces. This capability makes it ideal for testing parts that are difficult to secure in traditional bench-mounted systems. Technicians can simply bring the tester to the specimen, streamlining the workflow and reducing preparation time. This feature significantly broadens the range of applications, particularly in structural testing, construction materials, and maintenance of large machinery.
