e-handy Portable Hardness Tester

The e-handy portable hardness tester works according to the ESATEST principle, patented by ERNST, which works by determining hardness by measuring electrical resistance. e-handy measures on extremely small areas (it does not require zero references for measurement) and physically unaccessible points to other hardness testers without sectioning of the workpiece. It measures on already assembled parts and offers a very extensive set of accessories for various applications. The measurement provides further information than just the hardness value. The Load/Hardness curve provides information on surface treatment of the workpiece. e-handy operates in accordance with DIN 50158 and is ACCREDIA certified (and ILAC circuit equivalents). Unique in its kind, it allows the test to be carried out in points that were previously unaccessible with maximum precision and reliability.
