Applications

Portable Hardness Tester – Computest-Lite

Computest-Lite is a lightweight (5 kgf) portable hardness tester that uses the Rockwell method (preload, full load, and reading back at preload). It can test a wide range of metals without changing the indenter. The device is easy to handle and allows measurements in all positions. It can be certified according to major international standards and complies with ASTM E-18 and DIN 50157.

Since 1958, the portable line has been continuously evolving to offer high quality and meet diverse requirements, from high load testing to measuring in physically inaccessible points, as well as simplifying and increasing the versatility of the testing process.

Compared to other portable hardness testers based on different principles, such as ‘rebound’, the product allow testing in all directions and inclinations. Moreover, measurements are not affected by the sample’s thickness during testing, enabling the measurement of minimum thicknesses. The instrument features high repeatability, compliance with ASTM E-18, DIN 50157-2 and DIN 50158-2 which are notable features of the line.
