Page 5: System Description
With its average function, the device can calculate an average value of up to 29 readings. With its standard load spring and standard pressure pins, the PCE-1000N can be used for a variety of different materials, such as aluminium, aluminium alloy, copper, copper alloy, fibre- reinforced plastics (glass, steel), other reinforced plastics, non-reinforced hard plastic, and other materials. -
Page 6: Structure And Function Keys
Structure and function Keys The PCE-1000N measures the indentation hardness by pressing a specific pressure pin with a specific pressure into the surface of the sample. The hardness is calculated via the indentation depth. The device uses the following formula: HBa=100-h/0.0076... -

Test samples should be placed stably. Small samples should be placed on a solid surface. (e. g., steel, glass, etc.). During the measurement, the sample should not be tilted. The sample should also be protected against slipping and deformation. © PCE Instruments... -

The softer the sample is, the more measurements should be included. The suggested number of measurements can be seen in the following tables: Suggested number of measurements for aluminium alloys (According to ASTM B648-2000) Barcol hardness value Min. number of measurements © PCE Instruments... -
Page 9: Calibration
Use a small screw driver to adjust the main spindle adjusting screw. The display value decreases when turning it clockwise and increases when turning it counter-clockwise. Adjust the screw until the measured value is in the indicated range of the 2 standard blocks. © PCE Instruments... -

NOTE: Due to the properties of soft metal materials, a consistent conversion between different hardness systems is not possible. Therefore, the following conversion table is for reference only. It is recommended to determine the actual hardness values by taking measurements.
