This measurement model applies to more rigid objects such as fiberglass, reinforced plastics, thermoplastic, or aluminum alloys
Measure hardness on fiberglass reinforced plastics, thermoset material, hard thermoplastic resin, aluminum etc. Minimum material thickness 1,5 mm.
Standards: DIN EN 59, ASTM D 2583
HPE II Barcol
The handheld design allows the HPE II Barcol to be used for measurements in a non-laboratory setting, and about 0.6kg of weight makes it easier to carry around.
Size and Weight
Method Barcol
| Range of application | Hardness determination on fiberglass rein-forced plastics, thermoset material, hard thermoplastic resin, aluminium etc. minimum material thickness 1,5 mm |
| Standards | DIN EN 59, ASTM D 2583 |
| Basic equipment | Barcol, Stabilisation ring |
| Measuring principle | The indenter of the instrument penetrates the specimen from the surface. This indentation depth provides the hardness information of the test specimen. |
| Technical Data | Memory for 300 measured values Lithium battery 3.6V with approx. 2000 hours operating time Data output RS 232 Measurement: LxWxH 190 x 70 x 40 mm Weight 600 g |
