  • Page 10: Leeb Hardness Testing Principle

    2.4 Leeb Hardness Testing Principle It is defined as the quotient of an impact body’s rebound velocity over its impact velocity, multiplied by 1000. Harder materials produce a higher rebound velocity than softer materials. For a specific group of material (e.g. steel, aluminum. etc.). Leeb hardness value represents a direct relationship to its hardness properties.
  • Page 11: Preparation Of The Sample Surface

    3.3 Preparation of the Sample Surface Preparation for sample surface should conform to the relative requirement in Appendix Table 3.  Test surfaces should be at or close to room temperature for optimal performance To eliminate hardness errors resulting from the roughness of a sample’s surface when using impact device D, DC or D+15, the test surface should be polished until its roughness Ra is no more than 2m.
  • Page 12 Coupling. Light-weight sample must be firmly coupled with a heavy base  plate. Both coupled surface must be flat and smooth. The impact direction must be vertical to the coupled surface. When the sample is a big plate, or long rod, it can be deformed and become unstable, even though its weight and thickness is within allowable ranges, and accordingly, the test value may not be accurate.

    4 Testing Program 4.1 Start-Up  Insert the plug of the impact device into the socket of impact device on the instrument.  Press the key,now power is on. The instrument is in working mode. 4.2 Loading Pushing the loading-tube downwards until contact is felt. Then allow it to slowly return to the starting position or using other method locking the impact body.

    5.6 Data logging At most one hundred files (F00-F99, one group as one file) can be stored inside the gauge. By simply pressing the key after a new measurement finishes-the screen showing the “AVE” icon, the measured hardness/strength group values will be saved to memory. The new saved file is appended as the last file of the memory.

    mini-printer. Before printing, please insert one connection plug of the print cable (Optional part) into the socket on the upper left of the main body, and insert the other plug into the communication socket of the mini-printer. You can print out the measurement result immediately after each testing process, by easily pressing the key.

    Please properly dispose of used batteries accordingly. 5.12 Connecting to a Computer The Instrument is equipped with a USB serial port. Using the output cable the gauge has the ability to connect to a computer, or external storage device. Measurement data stored in the memory of the gauge can be transferred to the computer through the USB port.

    6 Maintenance & Servicing 6.1 Impact Device Maintenance After the impact device has been used for 1000--2000 times, please use  the nylon brush provided to clean the guide tube and impact body. When cleaning the guide tube, unscrew the support ring first, then take out the impact body, spiral the nylon brush in counter-clock direction into the bottom of guide tube and take it out for 5 times, and then install the impact body and support ring again.
