The DeFelsko PosiTector® BHI Barcol Hardness Impressor (Advanced Body + Probe) is a state-of-the-art, handheld instrument designed for accurately measuring the indentation hardness of soft metals (such as aluminum and its alloys, copper, and brass), harder plastics, and fiber-reinforced plastics. This kit combines the advanced PosiTector gage body with a dedicated BHI probe, offering enhanced memory, reporting options, and functionality compared to standard models.
The advanced PosiTector body features a large 2.8" impact-resistant color touchscreen with a user-friendly keypad for intuitive navigation. It boasts expanded memory for storing thousands of readings per probe, on-screen help, real-time graphing, and the ability to create custom reports. The interchangeable BHI probe is specifically engineered for Barcol hardness testing, providing quick and reliable measurements comparable to traditional analog instruments but with digital precision and data logging capabilities.
This kit is lightweight and portable, allowing for easy hardness assessment in any orientation. The advanced body's flip display ensures right-side-up viewing at all times. The instrument is also built to be weatherproof, resisting dust, water, oil, solvents, and acids, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. The PosiTector BHI features user-adjustable measurement time with an on-screen countdown for increased accuracy. It conforms to national and international standards, including ASTM B648/D2583, DIN EN 59, and AS/NZS 3572.22.
