The Barcol hardness tester, especially the renowned 934-1 model, is the go-to choice for precise Barcol hardness test measurements. The Barcol hardness tester excels in evaluating materials like thick-wall aluminum alloy profiles, rods, plates, castings, and forgings — areas where the Webster hardness tester falls short. Compact, lightweight, and one-handed operation, the Barcol hardness tester delivers quick, one-press readings without requiring specimen movement or support. Its versatility makes the Barcol hardness tester ideal for any application.
Among all hardness tester types, the Barcol hardness tester is used to test pure aluminum, soft aluminum alloys, thicker aluminum alloys, aluminum strips, profiles, rods, castings, forgings, and assembled aluminum products like doors, windows, and curtain walls. The relevant standard for this application is ASTM B648-00.
The Barcol hardness tester, developed by hardness tester manufacturers, is used to test the hardness of non-metallic materials such as FRP and hard plastics. At present, most FRP products domestic and abroad mandate Barcol hardness testing to ensure quality and compliance, adhering to the ASTM D2583-07 standard.
The Barcol hardness tester is essential for conducting precise Barcol hardness test measurements on soft plastic materials and soft metals like lead and tin, specifically using the 935 Barcol hardness tester. Additionally, the 936 Barcol hardness tester is designed for accurate Barcol hardness test evaluations of materials such as leather, rubber, and wood.
