Key Features of NOVOTEST TS-R:
Wide coverage of hardness values
The range of Rockwell scales of Analog Rockwell Hardness Tester NOVOTEST TS-R is wide – HRA / HRB / HRC scales cover the Vickers scale in its entirety. The measurement value obtained can be also manually recalculated into Vickers or Brinell scale by the ASTM table of conversion.
Simplicity of use and measurements
The measurement using TS-R is pure simplicity – users set the test force quickly and conveniently by the special knob, and the test force is applied by the weights installed on the rod. The measurement result is displayed on the easy-to-read analog dial. The Rockwell hardness test employed in this model does not provide for the measurement of the imprints, so it is widely used in the hardness testing industry. Also, test objects shall not be perfectly machined for the testing, and this can be winning in comparison with Vickers methods, where measure the dimensions of the print with a microscope and require surface polishing.
A wide variety of test parts
The device can be used to test the hardness of almost any metal. It is mainly suitable for the measurement of the hardness of smaller parts yet the thickness of the test object should be 10 times thicker than the indentation depth. Rockwell testing is applicable to the parts with medium roughness and such metals as steel, hard cast irons, pearlitic malleable iron, titanium, deep case hardened steel and other material.
№1 choice
The simple construction and absence of electronic parts, as well as the simple measurement procedure make Analog Rockwell Hardness Tester NOVOTEST TS-R №1 choice among users. What is more, the device is the most affordable among all the other benchtop hardness testers and it is suitable for most test objects. The operation is simple and fast, and no electronics are involved in the measurement. So the device is fully autonomous and can work even without a power supply. The durable and solid build ensures a long service life and error-free operation. 2 indenters for 2 Rockwell scales
The presence of 2 Rockwell indenters in the delivery set allows using the device for HRA, HRB and HRC scales. The Rockwell indenter with 1/16 inch ball at the tip allows getting readings under HRB hardness scale in the range 20-80 HRB. The major load regarding this hardness scale is 100 kgf. This scale is useful in measurement of the hardness of materials such as copper alloys, soft steels, aluminum and its alloys, and malleable iron. The Rockwell indenter with a diamond cone at the tip is used for higher loads up to 150 kgf. This scale is useful in measuring the hardness of materials such as steel, hard cast iron, pearlitic malleable iron, titanium, deep case-hardened steel, and other hard materials.

Leeb Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-D2
Model: T-D2
Manufacturer: NOVOTEST - Ukraine
Contact for quotation: 0765 259 545
The Leeb hardness tester compliant with ASTM A956, is the world’s most popular metal hardness testing method due to its simplicity and ease of use, requiring no special skills. It works well with low alloy steels, stainless steels, and non-ferrous metals, and is ideal for bulk products without extensive surface preparation.
Wide range of hardness measurement
Allows to test the products with coarse, non-uniform structure (castings, forgings)
Very ease and simplicity in setup and operation
Reasonable price (lower in comparison with the ultrasonic hardness tester)
User can save the results of hardness measurements into the internal memory of the device and after that, transfer them to the PC. Device allows user to operate in a wide range of the temperature. Hardness tester T-D2 has a brightness high contrast display. Device also has calibration modes for hardness testing of wide range of metals and alloys.
