Leeb Hardness Meters

The Leeb rebound hardness test is one of the four most used method for testing metal hardness. This portable method is mainly used for testing sufficiently large workpieces (mainly above 1 kg).

The Leeb rebound hardness test method was developed in 1975 by Leeb and Brandestini at Proceq SA to provide a portable hardness test for metals. It was developed as an alternative to the unwieldy and sometimes intricate traditional hardness measuring equipment. The first Leeb rebound product on the market was named “Equotip”, a phrase which still is used synonymously to “Leeb rebound” due to the wide circulation of the “Equotip” product.

Traditional hardness measurements, e.g. according to Rockwell, Vickers and Brinell, are stationary, i.e. fixed workstations are set up in segregated testing areas or laboratories of plants. Most of the times, these methods are used selectively in destructive tests. Samples are cut off from selected parts and measured in the laboratory. From the individual results, statistical conclusions are drawn for the entire batch. The portability of Leeb testers can sometimes help to achieve higher testing rates without destruction of samples (test is considered as non-destructive), which in turn simplifies processes and saves costs.

HN-D Sauter Mobile Leeb Hardness Meter

Sauter HN-D Leeb Impact Mobile Hardness Tester
Easy and mobile handling, providing precise measurement results

HN-D Mobile Leeb Impact Hardness Tester are designed to measure the hardness of various materials and can display and or convert the results into all of these popular hardness units Rockwell (B & C), Vickers (HV), Brinell (HB), Shore (HSD) and Leeb (HL). The unit can also convert into tensile strength (MPa).

Advanced handling: The all-in-one design allows to use the instrument in more and in broader applications as traditional instrument. As the instrument can be operated with one hand only, the user is more flexible and efficient in using the instrument.

Modern LCD display: Optimized for industrial users: Bright for comfortable reading in dark surroundings (backlight) and high in contrast, so it can be read from any angle. USB-PC connection: Easy to install at all PC types. Data Software allows to download the memorized data, provides statistics and can save to Excel
