1. Easy to Use & Highly Efficient
Engineered for true one-handed operation, the Barcol Hardness Tester is intuitive and requires minimal training. Its portable design enables rapid, high-efficiency testing anywhere—on the production floor, in the warehouse, or at the job site.

2. High Sensitivity with 100 Scales
Featuring a precise 100-scale measurement range, the Barcol Hardness Tester offers significantly higher sensitivity compared to Webster Hardness Testers, ensuring finer resolution and more detailed material assessment.

3. Wide Testing Range for Aluminum Materials
The tester covers a comprehensive range of aluminum materials, from soft pure aluminum to super hard aluminum alloys, providing versatile application across various production and quality control stages.

4. Precision Indenter for Long Life & Accuracy
The indenter is manufactured with special tool steel whose material hardness and dimensional tolerances strictly conform to the 2013 verification regulation and rigorous internal enterprise standards. Each indenter undergoes strict individual quality inspection to guarantee the long-term accuracy, long service life, and excellent interchangeability of the Barcol Hardness Tester.

5. Durable Screw Rod for Enhanced Reliability
A sophisticated metal screw rod mechanism ensures superior instrument life and reliability. This robust construction offers a significant advantage over other Barcol hardness testers in the market that use less durable plastic gears.

6. Certified Hardness Blocks for Accurate Calibration
Every Barcol hardness block is directly imported from the United States, guaranteeing the veracity, stability, and uniformity of all measurement results. This provides traceable confidence in your quality control data.

7. Robust Die-casting Case
The heavy-duty die-cast case is not only strong and aesthetically pleasing but also designed with an ergonomic grip for comfortable and secure handling during use.

8. Comprehensive Hardness Conversion
Using the included Barcol hardness conversion table, values can be easily converted to Brinell (HB), Rockwell (HR), and Webster (HW) hardness scales. Additionally, Barcol values for rubber materials obtained with models 935 and 936 can be converted to Shore hardness values.
