Impact Devices

The portable hardness tester Equotip 3 may be combined with many different impact devices and support rings, allowing a wide range of different materials, surfaces and part geometries to be measured. These significantly extend the possibility of applications for the Equotip device. Each of these special impact devices is compatible with basic unit Equotip 3 and is supplied as accessory.

Support Rings

The testers only work properly when the impact body is held to the proper distance from the test surface during impact. The wide selection of support rings permits testing on a great variety of part geometries, from flat surfaces to concave or convex cylindrical or spherical test surfaces. Support rings are easy to use – simply thread them on the end of the impact devices to ensure perfect adaption of the tester to the sample.
