Range of application

 The Zwick Barcol tester is a digital hardness tester that

is especially suited for performing tests on level and

lightly curved specimen to DIN EN 59 and

 ASTM D 2583, see below:

• Glass fibre reinforced plastics

• Duroplasts

• Hard thermoplasts

• Semifinished and finished parts

• Aluminium

Characteristics

• The Barcol hardness tester has a truncated cone

which is made of hardened steel and has an angle

  of 26 degrees and a flat tip with a diameter of

0.157 mm. The measuring distance is 0.76 mm.

• An optical and an acoustic signal are generated

after the measurement time has expired and the

test data is automatically shown on the display

with a resolution of 1 Barcol. The test data can

be transmitted to a PC for further processing and

archiving via an RS232 interface when using the test

software testXpert II.

• The tester always shows the current test data and

can save up to 300 hardness value. The tester is

switched to the standby mode if testing has not

been carried out for a long time.

• The low weight, the handy dimensions and the

accumulator operation enable mobile use as well as

laboratory operation (test stand as an option). This

mounting device allows the hardness tester to be

clamped rapidly and simply and is used to run seriestests.
