Product Information:

Automatic Hardness Tester IRHD Compact III
This cost-effective modular semi-automatic hardness tester can easily test samples like O rings, seals, and tube-shaped elastomers. By means of interchangeable measuring devices for methods IRHD M and IRHD N, soft elastomers with a thickness of up to 0.6mm are easily tested with highly reliable results. The contact pressure and measuring time of this hardness tester are according to international standards. Hardness Tester IRHD Compact III has the capacity to store up to 300 test results and comes with interchangeable probes according to the requirements of the operator. The optional “BareissOne” windows-based software offers data logging, management of articles, display of graphics and hardness curves, statistical evaluation, and further analysis of the measured values.

Features and Benefits:

1) The unit consists of an electronic display along with a resolution of up to 0.1 IRHD
2) Data transmission can be done with an RS-232 interface.
3) Interchangeable probes from Micro to normal depending on the sample used to test
4) IRHD Compact III hardness tester is a semi-automatic hardness measuring instrument that is very cost-effective
5) O rings, seals, and tube-shaped samples can easily be tested with the help of special fixtures that attach to the instrument.
6) The embedded memory is used to store up to 300 test results as well as optical and acoustic signals during the measuring process.
