Fully automated instrument for measuring pendulum hardness in accordance with the König and Persoz methods.
- Automated design ensures reliable and repeatable measurement of coating hardness by reducing operator intervention
- Motorized sample platform lifts the sample into the test position
- Pendulum is positioned and released automatically
- Automatic counter with signal when deflection is below 3° (König) or 4° (Persoz) respectively
- Changeable from König to Persoz and vice versa with corresponding pendulum
- Pre-assembled draft shield with easy access door
- UL/CE/CSA certification
- Compliant with ASTM D4366 and ISO 1522
- Smallest sample size: 65mm x 75mm (2.6 x 3.0 inches)
- Largest sample size: 102mm x 229mm (4.0 x 9.0 inches)
- Maximum sample thickness : 8.5mm (0.33 inches)
- Minimum sample thickness is limited by the rigidity of the sample.
