Portable Leeb Hardness Tester Probes

Description

There are 7 kinds of probes to work with Leeb hardness tester for different applications, which is D / DC / D+15 / C / G / E /DL.
● Universal Impact Device D – For the majority of hardness testing requirements.
● DC – Used in very confined spaces, e.g. in holes, cylinders or for internal measurements on assembled machines.
● DL – For measurements in extremely confined spaces or at the base of grooves.
● D+15 – For measurements in grooves or recessed surface.
● C – Surface hardened components, coatings, thin walled or impact sensitive components (small measuring indentation).
● G – Solid heavy or rough components. e.g. heavy castings and forgings.
● E – For super hard materials.
