Barcol Impressor Hardness Tester, Portable Indentation

Brinell Hardness Meter HBA-1

Introduction

A portable indentation hardness tester.

Single hand operation; no operating experience required; can test any workpiece which is

reachable in any site.

Wide valid testing range equivalent to Brinell hardness 25-150HBW. Used to test the hardness of

all kinds of aluminum, from very soft aluminum to very hard aluminum alloys.

Extended application. Model HBA-1 is applied to test the hardness of aluminum, aluminum alloys,

copper, copper alloys, fiber reinforced plastics and rigid plastics etc. The improved model of it is

available to test very soft metals such as lead and tin and other soft materials such as soft

plastics, rubber, felt and leather etc.

High sensitivity. Featured with 100 scales, much more sensitive than Webster hardness testers

applied in aluminum alloys industry.

Used to test super large and thick worpieces and assembly parts.

Easy conversion. The test results can be converted to HB, HR, HV and HW easily through

conversion table.

Comply to standard ASTM B648-2000.

Application

Barcol Impressor is mainly applied to test aluminum and aluminum alloys. Webster is used to test

aluminum alloy extrusions, sheet and tubings. Barcol Impressor is suitable to test pure aluminum,

soft aluminum alloys, super thick aluminum alloys, aluminum alloys bars and assembled aluminum

alloys parts (e.g. al-alloy door &window, scaling ladder etc.)

Relevant Standard: ASTM B648 (Test Method for Indentation Hardness of Aluminum Alloys by

Means of a Barcol Impressor)

Barcol Impressor is also used to test fiber reinforced plastics and rigid plastics etc.

Relevant Standard: ASTM D2583-07(Test Method for Indentation Hardness of Rigid Plastics by

Means of a Barcol Impressor)

The improved models of Barcol Impressor are available to test softer plastics, very soft metals,

rubber and leather etc.
