Leeb Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-D3

The most popular method in the world for testing metal hardness using a portable hardness tester is the Leeb method (ASTM A956). The so-called dynamic method of hardness determination is widespread due to its ease of use. The user does not need to have any special skills and/or knowledge in the field of hardness measurement; to perform the measurement, it is necessary to load the impact body of the device's probe, place the probe on the tested surface, press the trigger of the probe, and the hardness value will be displayed on the device screen.

This method is recommended for large-sized products, weighing from 5 kg and with a thickness of 10 mm and above; however, by adhering to certain requirements for fixing the product, it is also possible to measure small parts.

Innovation! Optionally, the device can be equipped with a Bluetooth module!

Perform hardness measurements, calibrate the device, configure a convenient display of values, record the results of hardness measurements, synchronize the archive with your other devices and a PC, transfer measurement results to your colleagues—all this is available with your smartphone through the special NOVOTEST application for Android.

Hardness testers have never had such opportunities! With the help of a Bluetooth connection, your smartphone connects to the hardness tester, and you have an entirely new device—a next-generation hardness tester! The intuitive interface, numerous options for documenting results, internet access, touch screen, camera, microphone, and GPS receiver of a smartphone transform your durometer into something completely unique and previously inaccessible.

With the NOVOTEST application, you can:

- adjust and calibrate the hardness tester;
- display measurement results in real-time in digital form with the construction of a graph, histogram, or statistics;
- take a photo of the object to be tested with the application of hardness marks;
- create a video of the controlled product;
- record audio notes of the tested object;
- automatically save the geolocation of measurements on Google Maps;
- display a Google map with markers of measurement locations and the ability to view these measurements;
- display the measurement calendar (presentation of the archive in the form of measurements grouped by date);
- generate a complete final report on the measurement;
- send a completed report by email, messaging (or any other convenient way) directly from the application;
- flexible archive structure—completely similar to the usual explorer, with the ability to create folders and files with any name;
- synchronization with PC and other smartphones;
- cloud service for storing measurement archives;
- automatic and manual synchronization of measurement cloud archives between devices;
- launch Google navigation mode, build a route, and accompany to the point where the measurements were taken;
- the ability to store archives from other devices with Bluetooth in a single application.

The main advantages of the NOVOTEST T-D3 Leeb hardness tester:

Scales and Materials

The device comes with preliminary calibrations for various scales and materials, making the device universal.

Scales: HRC, HRB, HB, HV, HL, MPa.

Materials: steel, alloy steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, brass, copper.

It can also be calibrated for any scale and any material (USER scale).

Low Requirement for Surface Quality and Material Structure

The NOVOTEST T-D3 Leeb hardness tester can be used for products with poorly prepared surfaces (roughness 3.2 Ra and above), as well as for materials with coarse grain structure, such as cast iron and others.

Various Types of Probes

The NOVOTEST T-D3 Leeb hardness tester can be used with different types of probes depending on the task and scope.
