Description
From our specialist brand TQC Sheen, this reliable pendulum tester is engineered for accurate hardness testing on a wide range of coatings and substrates. It performs both König and Persoz methods as described in ISO 1522, where the damping time of an oscillating pendulum indicates the surface hardness.
Dual-Method Precision
This modular system accommodates either a König or Persoz pendulum—attach the appropriate accessory and switch methods at the push of a button. Each method differs in oscillation amplitude and measurement angle, but both deliver dependable hardness values through automated, repeatable testing procedures.
Simplified Operation with Reduced Human Error
A stepper motor ensures the pendulum is positioned precisely every time, while an electro-magnetic system controls the release. Combined with intuitive calibration menus, a gas-spring draft cover, and adjustable support feet, this instrument is designed to ensure ease of use and reliable measurements across all setups.
Features & Benefits
- A stepper motor ensures the pendulum is positioned automatically.
- The pendulum is automatically released through an electro-magnetic system.
- The gas-spring supported transparent draft cover allows easy access to all parts.
- The spirit level is located on the test specimen. Once leveled, further calibration is not required.
- Visual and acoustic signal when test is performed, to ensure ease of use.
- The instrument can be kept level on a variety of surfaces, thanks to adjustable and durable support feet.
- Integrated storage for glass plate and pendulum, to keep workspace clear.
- Menu-driven calibration menu eases both Persoz and König calibration.
