Portable hardness tester e-handy

e-handy Portable Hardness Tester: Innovative Technology for Accurate and Safe Measurements

The e-handy portable hardness tester is the ideal solution for those seeking precision and reliability in hardness measurements. Based on the patented ESATEST® principle by ERNST, e-handy uses an innovative testing method that leverages the correlation between penetration depth and residual electrical resistance. This advanced method generates a precise measurement curve as the applied load varies, allowing the hardness tester to accurately determine hardness by comparing the curve with a previously acquired calibration.

Key Features:

Advanced Measurements: Thanks to the ESATEST® principle, e-handy offers the ability to measure in physically inaccessible points for traditional hardness testers, such as internal cavities, joints, and already assembled components, while preserving the integrity of the parts thanks to the use of very low loads.
Versatility and Precision: Accurately measures even on weld seams and in the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), providing detailed information about the hardness and surface treatment of materials.
Advanced Connectivity: Allows wireless data sharing up to 100 meters, ensuring a state-of-the-art test results management system.
Certifications: Compliant with the DIN 50158 standard and certifiable by ACCREDIA (ILAC MRA), the e-handy hardness tester is designed to operate precisely in all positions.

Thanks to its cutting-edge technology, e-handy stands out for its unique ability to measure hardness in extremely small areas, providing reliable and detailed results. Choose e-handy for your hardness measurement needs and discover how this tool can transform your industrial operations.
