PORTABLE
HARDNESS TESTER

State of the art, digital portable hardness tester is designed to test the hardness of large hard metal parts. Clean crisp display shows the incredible functions that can only be found on this new portable hardness tester such as auto-probe detection, auto direction detector, single and multi-point calibration make the new 1900 the most versatile portable hardness tester in the industry. Blazing fast test speeds coupled with memory and output, this unit is a must have for virtually any work shop.

The PHT-1900 portable hardness tester can perform tests that easily convert to the most popular hardness scales, including Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Shore, etc.

Designed to test large hard parts:
Example: Tool steel should be close to 1� thick of solid material
