Professional Manual Rockwell Hardness Tester
The TH500 Manual Rockwell Hardness Tester is a professional Rockwell hardness tester designed for accurate and reliable hardness testing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in manufacturing, quality control, workshops, laboratories, and educational institutions. Featuring a fully manual loading system that requires no external power supply, the TH500 delivers dependable Rockwell hardness measurements with stable performance and simple operation. Its robust mechanical construction makes it an ideal solution for routine material testing, incoming inspection, production quality assurance, and laboratory applications.
The TH500 Manual Rockwell Hardness Tester performs Rockwell hardness testing using standard preliminary and major test forces of 60 kgf, 100 kgf, and 150 kgf, enabling measurement across the most commonly used Rockwell scales. Furthermore, the manually operated loading system uses a precision buffer mechanism to control loading speed, while the load-change handwheel allows quick selection of the required test force. The large 185 mm maximum specimen height and 165 mm throat depth accommodate a wide variety of workpieces, from small machined components to larger industrial parts.
Designed for Reliable Hardness Testing
The TH500 features an easy-to-read dial indicator with a resolution of 0.5 HR, providing stable and repeatable hardness measurements for routine inspection. In addition, the tester requires no electrical power, making it suitable for workshops, mobile inspection stations, training facilities, and environments where power availability is limited.
The TH500 Manual Rockwell Hardness Tester is suitable for testing quenched steel, tempered steel, annealed steel, chilled cast iron, malleable cast iron, alloy steel, bearing steel, aluminium alloys, copper alloys, and many other metallic materials. Moreover, the instrument complies with ISO 6508, ASTM E18, and JIS Z2245 standards, ensuring internationally recognised Rockwell hardness testing performance. Supplied with diamond and ball indenters, certified hardness test blocks, multiple test tables, and complete accessories, the TH500 is ready for immediate operation.
