PCE-2000N: Portable Leeb Hardness tester for metallic materials
DESCRIPTION
The PCE-Instruments PCE-2000N
metal hardness meter uses the Leeb rebound method. This is a dynamic hardness
test method in which a standardized test specimen, usually a hard metal ball,
is hit with defined impact energy on a test surface. The impact of the hard
metal ball on the test surface results in a plastic deformation of the surface
at the point of impact. From this deformation results in an energy loss, which
is proportional to the workpiece hardness and can be determined by the ratio of
rebound to impact velocity of the specimen.
