Foerster SONODUR 3 LITE LEEB – portable Leeb hardness tester
Applications
For mobile Leeb hardness measurements where the UCI method and additional functions are not needed. The SONODUR 3 LITE LEEB uses the same high-quality probes and provides the same accuracy as the SONODUR 3, but has no camera functions (image storage, barcodes, DataMatrix), no UCI probe compatibility and no Wi-Fi – data is transferred to a computer via USB. Cabled Leeb D and G or Bluetooth Leeb D, G and DC probes are available.
Key features
- Probes are easy to handle – learned in a few minutes
- Fast measurement – suitable for series inspection of larger components
- Results can be saved, e.g. as Excel or TXT files
- The impact body can be replaced by the user
- Automatic conversion to HV, HB, HRC, HRB and other scales according to EN ISO 18265:2019, ASTM E140:2019 and EPRI P-91 2020
