Some metal components cannot easily be moved to a dedicated inspection area. PORTABLE METAL HARDNESS TESTERS can support suitable applications where hardness evaluation needs to be performed closer to the component.
Portability Changes the Inspection Process
Large, installed or difficult-to-handle components may make conventional laboratory-style testing inconvenient. A portable approach can reduce the need to relocate the workpiece when the selected testing method is appropriate.
However, portability does not mean every material or geometry can be tested in the same way.
Understand the Testing Conditions
Material, surface condition, component geometry and required hardness scale influence instrument suitability. The test location should also be prepared according to the method being used.
Consistent preparation and procedure are important when readings need to be compared across multiple areas.
Procurement Should Begin With the Material
Before purchasing, teams should identify the materials, expected hardness range, component size, access and frequency of testing.
