Product Description
The PHB-3000E Electric Portable Brinell Hardness Tester is a professional field hardness testing solution designed for accurate Brinell hardness measurement of large, heavy, and installed metal components. Utilizing an advanced electric hydraulic loading system, the PHB-3000E automatically applies and maintains the full 3000 kgf test force with a single-button operation, ensuring complete compliance with ISO 6506 and ASTM E10.
Unlike conventional portable Brinell testers, the PHB-3000E eliminates manual loading, reducing operator effort while delivering highly repeatable and laboratory-grade measurement accuracy. The permanent Brinell indentation allows independent verification using an optical Brinell indentation measuring system, providing results comparable to benchtop Brinell hardness testers.
Designed for workshop, production, maintenance, and on-site inspection, the PHB-3000E is ideal for testing large forgings, castings, steel structures, pressure vessels, heavy machinery, and heat-treated components that cannot be accommodated by conventional bench hardness testers.
