HARDMATIC HH-411
HH-411 is a rebound type portable hardness tester for metal with a compact body and high operability. It allows anyone
to perform hardness testing easily at the touch of a key, so it can be used widely on various components in the field.
Application examples for each detector type
810-299 DC Type : UD-412

HH-411
Rich variety of detectors available

In addition to the general-purpose detector (D type) supplied as standard
equipment, the detector lineup includes rich variations (sold separately) to
support special applications. The DC type is provided for hardness testing of
internal walls of pipes with diameters that cannot be tested with the D type,
Hardness testing of internal walls of pipes and tight spaces
the D+15 type for bearings and gears, and the DL type for small areas such as
the bottom of small gears and weld corners.
Equipped with automatic orientation correction

For the rebound type hardness tester, gravity affects the
measurement result depending on the orientation of the detector relative
to the vertical when pressed against the specimen surface. The HH-411 is
equipped with the latest measurement technology that automatically detects
the orientation of the detector to automatically correct for this effect. For this
reason, the setting for orientation of the detector is not required.
HH-411
D+15 Type : UD-413

Hardness testing of small surfaces is possible
Only a small surface (standard D type: 22mm, separately sold DL type: 4mm)
area is required for hardness testing. Therefore the HH-411 can be used for
testing of various specimen shapes such as around grooves and gear teeth.
Equipped with a data save function

Hardness testing in gaps and grooves and with
slightly uneven surfaces
Up to 1800 hardness test results can be saved, which is useful for patrol tests in
the field.
Hardness scale can be selected for your own individual purpose

Based on the Leeb hardness HL value (L value: according to ASTM A 956),
conversion can be performed to Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell C, Rockwell B, and
Shore hardness as well as tensile strength.
Conversion can be performed after the test, or hardness value display in the
conversion mode is also available.
Great operability DL Type : UD-414

The basic operation is to press the detector against the sample surface and
push the detector button by your finger, just like clicking
a ballpoint pen, so it is easy for anyone to do.
Small surfaces such as bottom lands of gears and
weld corners

Measuring hardness just requires pressing
the hardness tester against the specimen
and reading the indicated value.
Various kinds of sample can be tested for hardness, from soft sponge to hard plastic. Also, various measurement locations on the specimen can be
used, such as a flat surface, a hole, or the bottom of a groove. The 10 models of hardness testers in the HH-300 Series support various hardness
measurement standards.
Long type HH-331, 332, 333, 334 Compact type HH-329, 330, 335, 336, 337, 338
The the long type has a slender cylindrical shape (24 x 85mm). The compact body fits snugly into your palm for ease of measurement.
Due to this it can measure hardness at the bottom of grooves or holes as well
as exposed surfaces. Also, hardness measurement can be performed while
keeping your hands and face away from the specimen surface. This is
essential when the surface temperature is high: for example immediately after
molding.

1. Overview of hardness
Testing methods used to characterize hardness as a numerical value employ
diverse methods of applying deformation and resistance representation
devised for, and defined by, each of those testing methods. The hardness
testing methods used by industry today can be basically grouped as follows
according to variations in standard materials, deformations to be used as
the basis for measurement, and hardness calculation methods. Indentation
testing methods are the most commonly applied. They involve applying a
permanent deformation to the test surface and determining its hardness
from the test force required to create the deformation and the size of the
deformation.
Rebound hardness (or dynamic hardness) testing measures the behavior Rockwell hardness testing
when a standard impactor is made to collide with the test surface, and
scratch hardness testing measures the behavior when two materials are
rubbed together. Portable hardness testing employs a different comparative
measurement method for each type of material due to priority being placed
on ease of operation and even magnetism and ultrasound are used.
Other typical examples of methods for common hardnesses include Mohs Preliminary test force

Definition of hardness
(1) Brinell hardness
The Brinell hardness testing method was the first method invented for standardizing indenter ( = 136 between opposite faces) is pressed into the sample by the test

Brinell hardness is the test force F divided by the contact area S (mm2) between the
spherical indenter and specimen calculated on the diameter d (mm) of the impression
made when the indenter (a steel ball or cemented carbide ball with a diameter D mm) is An error of the Vickers hardness test is obtained by the following formula. d1 indicates
pressed into the sample by the test force F and then removed. The symbol HBS is used the measuring error of the microscope, d2 indicates the error in indentation
when the indenter is a steel ball, or HBW when it is a cemented carbide ball. k is a measurement, a indicates the length of the edge line between two opposite faces at
constant (1/g = 1/9.80665 = 0.102). the tip of the indenter. is in degrees.
For the same loading condition (F/D2), the Brinell hardness obtained is almost the (3) Knoop hardness
same when different test forces are used for measurement. In many countries,
measurement with small test forces is widespread as an application of this fact. Knoop hardness is the test force F divided by the projected area A (mm2) of the
Testing with a test force of 2451N or less can be conducted by using the test force impression calculated based on the longer diagonal length d (mm) of the indentation
weight and indenter for the Rockwell or Vickers hardness testing machine. For steel, F/D2 made when the pyramid-shaped diamond indenter with apical angles of 130 and
is 30. For other softer materials, an appropriate value is selected from 15, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 17230 and rhomboid cross section is pressed into the specimen by the test force F and
and 1. In the JIS and ISO standards, the test force is 9.807 to 29420N, and the diameter then removed. Knoop hardness can be measured by replacing the Vickers indenter of
of the spherical indenter is 1 to 10mm. An error of the Brinell hardness test is obtained by the microhardness testing machine with the Knoop indenter.
the following formula. d1 indicates the error of the impression measuring device, d2
the error in impression measurement.

Vickers hardness is the test force F divided by the area S (mm2) of again. Rockwell hardness and Rockwell Superficial hardness can be obtained from the
the indenter and sample calculated based on the diagonal length d (the average of 2 hardness calculation formula based on the difference in depths of impression h (m)
directions in mm) of the impression made when the pyramid-shaped diamond
indentor ( =136between opposite faces ) is pressed into the sample by the test force measured at the first and second application of the initial test force.
F(N) and then removed. The hardness is called Rockwell hardness when the preliminary test force is 98.07N, or
Rockwell Superficial hardness when it is 29.42N. Unique symbols are assigned to
combinations of types of the indenter, test forces, and hardness calculation formula,
which comprise a scale. JIS defines scales of hardness.
