Page 4: Measuring Principle
Measuring principle An impact body of known weight is propelled against the measuring surface. The hardness value is calculated from the rebound velocity and the impact velocity at 1 mm distance from the measuring surface using the following formula: HL = 1000×VB/VA HL-- Hardness according to Leeb VB-- Rebound velocity VA-- Impact velocity... - Page 5 Measurement ranges according to material and hardness scale Material Steel and cast steel Scale Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Shore Measurement range HRC: 17.9 ... 68,5 Cast Steel HRB: 59.6 ... 99,6 HL / HV / HB / HRC / HS HRA: 59.1 ... 85,8 / HRB / HRA HB: 127 ...

Page 10: Operation
Operation Getting started General requirements for the material sample The surface temperature of the sample must be below 120 °C. The sample must meet the minimum thickness specified in the specifications. The surface to be tested should not be too uneven or rough. This could cause errors. The sample being measured should be metallic, smooth and free of grease. -
Page 11: Switching On The Meter
Requirements for the weight of the material sample For samples which are heavier than five kilogrammes and have a compact design, no support is necessary. Material samples with a weight of two to five kilogrammes but also heavier thin-walled samples should be stabilised by means of a fixing device. This is to prevent the sample from being deformed or displaced when touched. -
Page 12: Calibration
Calibration Before using the meter for the first time or if it has not been used for a long time, a calibration should be carried out using the Leeb hardness test block that comes with the meter. When switching on, press and hold ´and until calibration mode opens. -
