The e-handy portable hardness tester works according to the ESATEST® principle, patented by ERNST, which works by determining hardness by measuring electrical resistance. e-handy measures on extremely small areas (it does not require zero references for measurement) and physically unaccessible points to other hardness testers without sectioning of the workpiece. It measures on already assembled parts and offers a very extensive set of accessories for various applications. The measurement provides further information than just the hardness value. The Load/Hardness curve provides information on surface treatment of the workpiece. e-handy operates in accordance with DIN 50158 and is ACCREDIA certified (and ILAC circuit equivalents). Unique in its kind, it allows the test to be carried out in points that were previously unaccessible with maximum precision and reliability.
Portable hardness tester e-handy
Product advantages
| 1 | Principle based on the measurement of electrical resistance - Tests in points inaccessible to traditional hardness testers: gears, couplings, cavities, interiors, weld seams, HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) |
| 2 | 1 diamond indenter for the entire range of metals - Simplicity and speed of the testing process |
| 3 | Continuous measurement of hardness at various loads - Immediate evaluation of the surface heat treatment - A single tool --> Various detections |
| 4 | ACCREDIA certification (ILAC MRA-Mutual Recognition Arrangements) - Offers a competitive advantage in markets where certification is required |
