Elcometer 3101 Barcol Impressor Hardness Tester

These easy to use hardness testers are ideal for testing the hardness of soft metals, plastics, fibreglass and leather.

Making sure the indenter point is perpendicular to the surface being tested, the instrument is placed onto the sample and a light pressure is exerted against the instrument driving the spring-loaded indenter point into the material and the hardness reading is instantly indicated on the dial. No waiting, pre-loading or separate measurements are required.
