• ASTM E3246-21 - The New Standard For Portable Rockwell Testing

Extremely precise, and material independent version of conventional Rockwell method

Resolution & depth
The only portable measurement method that has practically no minimal thickness limitation - perfect for thin sheets of metals, any material.

Versatility
Equally reliable, accurate and standardized but faster than stationary Rockwell hardness testers.

User Experience
Material independent method - that can be combined with Leeb and UCI in one measurement device. One device - all applications.
