    4.2.3 Testing Press down the release button on the top of the impact device to make a test. At this point, the test sample, impact device and the operator are all required to be stable; and the force direction should comply with the axis of the impact device. Five measurements should be carried out per measuring position of test sample.

    400HVHLD expresses that the Vickers hardness value is 400, which changed from Leeb hardness value measured by D type impact device. Note: HL values which measured by various impact devices are various. For example: 700HLD≠700HLC. 5 Special prompts Replacing impact device must be performed under the condition of turn off, otherwise the impact device type cannot be identified automatically, and even it is possible to cause the damage of circuit board of the tester.
