Webster Hardness Tester
WEBSTER BUSES AND APPLICATIONS • For identifying heat-treated from non-heat-treated parts • Provides correlation between a bench mounted hardness tester and the production line • For segregating materials in stock • For differentiating between soft or work-hardened material • For identifying parts made from improper or substandard alloys • Checking for proper heat-treatment response • Useful in conjunction with stationary laboratory hardness testers. Gives a rapid 100% check on parts which would consume many man-hours with slower operating test equipment • can be used on assemblies which cannot be brought to the laboratory Each tester is shipped in a fitted case with a spare penetrator, adjusting wrench and standard test strip FEATURES • One hand operation and portability • Round 3/8 inch diameter anvil permits testing a great variety of shapes • Simple operation permits readings independent of the operator’s skill • Test is made by simply applying pressure to the handles until “bottom” is felt • Easy-to-read dial indicator with 20 graduations permits use of the tester as “go” and “no-go” gauge, or values can be converted to other standard scales • Standard hardness gauge tests materials up to 1/4 inch in thickness • Increased capacities available up to 1 inch
