Pendulum Hardness Tester

Using infrared (IR) technology, the Elcometer 3045 provides a fully automated Persoz or König pendulum hardness test with no human intervention, designed to ensure accurate, repeatable results. Fit the pendulum on to the loading pins, load the sample and close the door. The pendulum automatically moves to the start position, the sample table rises and the test begins.

Features include: repeatability— once the sample is in position and the door closed, the unit completes a fully automated test at the press of a button; accuracy—performs a full calibration routine and automatically adjusts the unit to meet the specified standard for confidence in the test results; ease of use—menu-driven operation in multiple languages; adjustability—with an integrated bubble level on the specimen table, users can quickly identify whether or not the specimen table is correctly aligned and if required, simply adjust the rotating feet at the base of the unit; and more.
