Hardness determination on composite materials, flexible materials, elastomers, plastics, foams, and automotive interiors.
The HPE III Basic handheld hardness tester is used for the determination of the hardness on composite materials, flexible materials, elsatomers, plastics, as well as foams and automotive interiors. For reliable hardness testing acording to standards, a smooth and flat test specimen with a diameter of ≥ 35 mm and a material thickness of ≥ 6 mm is required.
Product Information
With the HPE III Basic handheld hardness tester, you can effortlessly measure the hardness of flexible materials, polymers, and composite materials. Its proven and sophisticated product desighn ensures correct measurement procedures and protects against operating errors. Thanks to the functional handle with integrated pressure sleeve, the hardness tester can be reliably operated and placed on the specimen with contact pressure conforming to standards. After the specified testing time has elapsed, it signals the user of successful measurement with a signal tone. All measurement data is then displayed on the illuminated display and can be conveniently exported via BareissOne software.
The HPE III Basic also measures humidity, ambient and sample temperature, as well as date and time as an additional feature.
Key Features
Intuitive menu navigation
The simple menu navigation is operated via 3 buttons and is intuitively understandable after just a few steps. Changing the measurement time, viewing up to 300 measurement values, and many other functions are displayed to you in a few clicks.
Lightweight and compact
The compact size of the handheld hardness tester allows for comfortable transportation to the desired location. Whether in the factory, warehouse, receipt of goods, or during quality inspections at the supplier, the HPE III Basic is easy to carry and well protected by the practical transport case.
Reliable measurement values
The integrated spring system in the handle ensures that the HPE III Basic applies the force conforming to standard and the correct angle to the specimen. Operator influence is thus minimized, allowing you to focus on the important things.
Universally applicable
In addition to its use as a flexible and lightweight handheld hardness tester, the HPE III Basic offers a stationary solution with the extension of a test stand that adapts to your requirements. In combination with out manual test stand BS 61 or our automatic test stand BSA, the HPE III Basic also serves as a tabletop unit for measurements in a laboratory enviroment.
BareissOne software
The unique and modular BareissOne software platform allows you to centrally store and evaluate all measurement values from your Bareiss test equipment. The user-friendly interface provides statistical analysis of measurement data with user management and automatic generation of test reports. Whether it's a standard test for individual measurements or a test series with complex text sequences, BareissOne meets your specific requirements.
