The MET portable hardness testers are designed to measure hardness of metals and alloys in the most
popular hardness scales, such as Rockwell C (HRC), Rockwell B (HRB), Brinell (HB), Vickers (HV), and
Leeb (LD). Calibration on these scales are carried out directly by Phase II prior to shipment of each unit.
The MET hardness testers offer additional “open” scales (H0, H1, H2, H3) that provide the opportunity
to:
● Calibrate and conduct hardness tests in other scales (i.e., Superficial Rockwell (HRN and HRT)
or any other common hardness scale)
● Conduct hardness test of metals that have significantly different properties from steel (iron,
aluminum and copper alloys etc.).
