Types of Hardness Testers:
When considering measuring the hardness of a solid there are several options as to what method to use. Some of the different types of hardness testing equipment are such: Rockwell, Vickers and Brinell to name a few. Hardness testers suppliers provide solutions for multiple industries and companies who want to maintain quality control which might include the acceptance or rejection of an object based on it’s hardness. Some applications also involve hardness testing for research purposes.
What is a Leeb Hardness Tester?
A Leeb hardness tester is a portable, non-destructive device used to measure the hardness of metals. It works by measuring the rebound velocity of a small impact body after it strikes the material, and this velocity is then converted into a hardness value using a formula.
The energy quotient is quoted in the hardness unit HL and is calculated from comparing the impact and rebound velocities of the impact body. It rebounds faster from harder samples than from softer ones, resulting in a greater energy quotient which is defined as 1000×Vr/ Vi.
HL=1000×Vr/ Vi
Where:
HL— Leeb hardness value
Vr — Rebound velocity of the impact body
Vi — Impact velocity of the impact body
What is the Difference Between Durometer and Leeb Hardness Tester?
Durometers and Leeb hardness testers are both types of hardness testers, but they use different methods and are typically used for different materials. Durometers are primarily used for measuring the hardness of soft materials like plastics and rubber, while Leeb hardness testers are designed for testing the hardness of metals and other harder materials.
