EQUOTIP 3
The Equotip 3 is a versatile portable hardness testing solution using the dynamic Leeb rebound technique which was invented by Proceq.
Proceq has combined today's technology with its over 35 years of Equotip know-how and customer feedback to create the Equotip 3 - a portable instrument that offers extended capabilities and unmatched ease of operation.
Features
•The Equotip 3 is a hand-held device with a rugged shock-resistant housing and sealed membrane keypad
•Large and clear display with adjustable contrast and backlight
•It converts directly to all common hardness scales (HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HRA, HS, Rm); creates and uses another up to 20 customer-specific conversions for uncommon alloys
•Highly accurate ± 4 HL (0.5% at 800 HL) with automatic correction for impact direction
•Wide measurement range
•Simple operating menu structure and extensive on-screen help files
•Internal storage of ~100’000 measured values in a flexible user-defined file/folder structure
•User profiles for a quick change of test setup (with password protection)
•Down-/upload data from/to PC via USB, Ethernet or RS-232
•Free and easy upgrades of the Equotip firmware and Equolink software via internet
Applications
•Good for most metals
•Excellent for material selection, acceptance and production level testing
•Ideal for on-site testing of heavy and large components before and after installation
•Handy for difficult to access or confined test locations
•Accurate also on curved test surfaces (R > 10 mm)
Proceq offers a unique variation of impact devices and support rings to serve both common as well as special applications.
Warranties
•Standard 2-year limited warranty on electronic indicating units
•Optional extended warranty periods up to 3 years
Standardization
•ASTM A956
•DIN 50156
•DGZfP Guideline "Mobile Härteprüfung"
•VDI / VDE Guideline 2616 Paper 1
