The TQC Sheen Barcol Hardness Tester provides consistent and reliable measurements on both fabricated parts and raw materials. With a Barcol scale ranging from 0 to 100, it allows users to evaluate the hardness of materials by pressing the spring-loaded indenter point into the surface, where hardness is determined based on the depth of indentation.
The device’s lightweight design (just 1 lb. 2 oz.) makes it highly portable, allowing for easy on-site testing without requiring extensive setup. Its simple, handheld operation ensures that no prior experience is needed, and readings are instantly displayed on a clear, dial indicator with no preloading necessary.
Suitable for a range of materials, including soft metals, plastics, fiberglass sheets, and composites, the TQC Sheen Barcol Hardness Tester is adaptable to diverse applications, from inspecting fire department ladders to testing rivets on aircraft. The indenter point’s small diameter enables precision, but it’s best suited for homogeneous materials.
For accurate results, the test area should be smooth, free from mechanical damage, and at least 1/32 inch thick with a minimum distance of 1/8 inch from edges. Note that the tester may show variations in readings for materials with a coarse or fibrous structure and is unsuitable for curved surfaces.
Built to endure field conditions, the Barcol Hardness Tester package includes a carrying case, an adjusting wrench, and two spare indenter points, ensuring its longevity and dependability across a range of testing environments.
In addition to the Barcol Hardness Tester, we’re pleased to offer a range of other hardness testing tools to meet various needs. For example, you might find our Pendulum Hardness Tester or our Shore Hardness Gauge durometer. Don’t forget to check out our Bucholz Hardness Indentation Tester or Pencil Hardness Test acc. Wolff Wilborn for your various testing needs.
