CISAM-Ernst e-handy – portable Esatest® tester for hard-to-reach areas
Applications
For measuring the hardness of metals where conventional testers cannot reach: gears, couplings, cavities, welds and the heat-affected zone (HAZ), as well as assembled units. Thanks to very low loads (1–10 kgf), the part is not damaged. Works on the patented Esatest® principle – the indentation depth is correlated with the change in residual electrical resistance of the conductive diamond indenter.
Key features
- Measurement in inaccessible areas and on assembled components, in all positions
- One indenter for all metals
- Continuous hardness evaluation while varying the load – helps to assess surface heat treatment
- Working area only 2 × 2 mm; min. diameter < 5 mm, special indenters for small cavities
- Wireless data transfer up to 100 m, 16 GB memory
- ACCREDIA (ILAC MRA) certificate on request
