LD0500 Concrete Inspection Hammer (mechanical) | CONCRETE INSPECTION HAMMER (MECHANICAL)Instrument for testing the quality of concrete and other construction materials according to UNI EN 12504-2 and ASTM C805. The recoil-force of the automatic hammer is displayed on the scale and indicates the strength of the concrete. Due to advancements in data evaluation in non-destructive testing methods manufacturer Eurosit has revised the tables used to interpret rebound hardness scales, significantly increasing the scope for analysing concretes to a range from a minimum resistance of 5 N/mm2 to values as high as 120 N/mm2, which are now achievable with the ingredients and mixes available today. | Download Brochure | Link to TQC |

VF2391 Pencil | The TQC Pencil Hardness Test according Wolff Wilborn provides in a simple method to test the scratch hardness of coatings. In this test, pencils in a range of 6B to 8H hardness-grade are used. The pencil is moved scratching over the surface under a 45° angle with a constant pressure. Then an optical assessment is carried out to see which pencil hardness damages the surface. Delivered with 16 pencils and a pencil sharpener. | Download PDF | Link to TQC |

SP0010 Scratch | The TQC Hardness Test SP0010 is a pocket instrument for testing the hardness and wear/scratch resistance of materials such as coatings, lacquers, plastics or related products. A tungsten carbide tip is drawn over the surface with a defined constant pressure. The pressure on the tip can be changed using the slide or by changing the spring. A visual mark on the surface after use of the TQC Hardness Test SP0010 indicates a fail of the surface hardness or wear/scratch resistance. Can be used on flat and curved surfaces. |

Pendulum Hardness Tester SP0500 SP0501 SP0505 SP0510 |
The TQC Pendulum Hardness Tester has a lot of unique features that ease defining hardness by the König and/or Persoz method as described in ISO 1522. Both methods work on the principle that the damping time of a pendulum oscillating on a sample indicates the hardness. The TQC Pendulum Hardness Tester base device is available as a 110 Volt and a 220 Volt model. SP0500 SP0501 SP0505 SP0510 |
