It rebounds faster from harder samples than from softer ones, resulting in a greater energy quotient which is defined as 1000×Vr/ Vi.HL=1000×Vr/ ViWhere:HL— Leeb hardness valueVr — Rebound velocity of the impact bodyVi — Impact velocity of the impact bodyWorking ConditionsWorking temperature：- 10℃～＋50℃；Storage temperature：-30℃～＋60℃Relative humidity: ≤90％；The surrounding environment should avoid of vibration, strong magnetic field, corrosive medium and heavy dust.Instrument FeaturesMeasuring range：（170～960）HLDError and repeatability ：Impact device D  760±30HLD,±6 HLD；530±40HLD,±10 HLDImpact device DC 760±30HLDC,±6HLDC；530±40HLDC,±10HLDCImpact device DL  878±30HLDL,±12HLDL；736±40HLDL,±12 HLDLImpact device D 15   766±30HLD 15,±12HLD 15；544±40HLD 15,±12HLD 15Impact device G    590±40HLG,±12HLG；500±40HLG,±12HLGImpact device C    822±30HLC,±12 HLC；590±40HLC,±12 HLCImpact direction：vertically downward, oblique, horizontal, oblique, vertical upward, automatically identifyMaterial：Steel and cast steel,Cold work tool steel,Stainless steel,Grey cast iron,Nodular cast iron,Cast aluminumalloys,BRASS(copper-zinc alloys),BRONZE(copper-aluminum/tin alloys),Wrought copper alloysHardness Scale：HL、HB、HRB、HRC、HRA、HV、HSPaper roll: width (57.5 ± 0.5) mm, diameter: 30mm, long-term imports of paper to ensure long-term data storageDisplay：High-contrast Segment LCDIntegrated data memory： 100 measurement series.(Relative to average times 32～1)Battery:  6V( Ni-MH battery pack)Power supply:9V/500mARecharge time:2.5-3.5hoursContinuous operating period：about 150 hours（with default brightness）Communication：USB1.1Based on the principle of Leeb hardness testing theory.

The instrument is in working mode.2 LoadingPushing the loading-tube downwards until contact is felt. Then allow it to slowly return to the starting position or using other method locking the impact body. 3 LocalizationPress the impact device supporting ring firmly on the surface of the sample, the impact direction should be vertical to the testing surface.4 Testing—-Press the release button on the upside of the impact device to test. The sample and the impact device as well as the operator are all required to be stable now. The action direction should pass the axis of the impact device.—-Each measure area of the sample usually need 3 to 5 times of testing operation. The result data dispersion should not more than mean value±15HL.—-The distance between any two impact points or from the center of any impact point to the edge of testing sample should conform to the regulation of Table 4-1.—- If want accurate conversion from the Leeb hardness value to other hardness value, contrastive test is needed to get conversion relations for the special material. Use inspection qualified Leeb hardness tester and corresponding hardness tester to test at the same sample respectively. For each hardness value, each measure homogeneously 5 points of Leeb hardness value in the surrounding of more than three indentations which need conversion hardness, using Leeb hardness arithmetic average value and corresponding hardness average value as correlative value respectively, make individual hardness contrastive curve. Contrastive curve at least should include three group of correlative data.Type of Impact DeviceDistance of center of the two indentationsDistance of center of the indentation to sample edgeNot less than (mm)Not less than (mm)D、DC35DL35D 1535G48E35C245 Read Measured ValueAfter each impact operation, the LCD will display the current measured value, impact times plus one, the buzzer would alert a long howl if the measured value is not within the valid range. When reaching the presetting impact times, the buzzer will alert a long howl. After 2 seconds, the buzzer will alert a short howl, and display the mean measured value.6 Notification—- Replacing the impact device must be done during Power off. Otherwise the main body could not identify the type of the impact device, and it may damage the circuit board of the main body.—-You could not save the current test value if the impact time is less than the presetting times value.—- Only type D and type DC of impact device have the function of strength test option. You can not change the setting to strength testing when using other types of impact device. The setting would be set to hardness testing automatically after replacing the impact device whether the setting is hardness testing or not before.—- Not all materials could convert to all hardness scale value. The hardness scale is reset to HL automatically after changing the material. So select material firstly before changing the hardness scale.Instrument MaintenanceAfter the impact device has been used for 1000 to 2000 times, please use the nylon brush provided to clean the guide tube and the impact body. Follow these steps when cleaning the guide tube,1.unscrew the support ring2.take out the impact body3.spiral the nylon brush in counterclockwise direction into the bottom of guide tube and take it out for 5 times4.install the impact body and support ring when complete.Release the impact body after use.Any lubricant is prohibited inside the impact device.
