Professional Portable Barcol Hardness Tester
The 934-1 Barcol Hardness Tester is a professional portable Barcol hardness tester designed for fast, accurate, and non-destructive hardness testing of aluminium, aluminium alloys, fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP), reinforced plastics, and composite materials. Its lightweight construction and single-hand operation allow inspectors to perform hardness measurements directly on finished components without sample preparation or supporting fixtures, making it ideal for production, quality control, incoming material inspection, and field applications.
Designed in accordance with ASTM B648 and ASTM D2583, the 934-1 Barcol Hardness Tester provides immediate hardness readings for aluminium profiles, extrusions, sheet metal, fabricated components, FRP structures, composite tanks, pressure vessels, moulded plastic products, and other structural materials. Furthermore, the instrument measures materials ranging from soft aluminium to high-strength aluminium alloys while maintaining excellent repeatability and long-term reliability. The durable indenter and precision dial indicator ensure dependable measurement performance for routine industrial inspections.
Designed for Industrial Inspection
The compact design enables convenient one-handed operation, allowing hardness testing on large structures and assembled components where conventional bench hardness testers cannot be used. In addition, the high-sensitivity dial indicator provides clear hardness readings with 100 graduations, while measured Barcol hardness values can be correlated with HBW, Rockwell, Vickers, and Webster hardness scales for reference.
The 934-1 Portable Barcol Hardness Tester is supplied with certified hardness test blocks for routine performance verification and calibration checks. Moreover, the durable carrying case and complete accessory kit make the instrument suitable for workshop, laboratory, and on-site inspection environments.
