Phase2+ 900-410 Digital Rockwell Hardness Tester
The Phase2+ 900-410 is a feature-rich digital Rockwell hardness tester built for labs, tool rooms, and production QC environments that demand wide scale coverage, precise automated testing, and flexible data output all in a single, user-friendly instrument. The 900-410 can be used directly to measure the most popular regular Rockwell hardness scales and quickly convert hardness values into HB, HV, HLD, HK, and many other scales, and is loaded with useful features including ultra precise results, wide measuring range, scale and test force selectable operation, automatic main test force loading and unloading, high resolution digital display, and USB data storage.
Utilizing the ASTM E-18 guidelines, the 900-410 is suited for testing metal hardness of carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and engineering plastics across the full range of standard Rockwell scales from HRA through HRV. Its automatic test force loading and unloading eliminates the variability introduced by manual operation, while the high-definition backlit LCD display and menu-driven push button interface make it straightforward to configure and operate for both experienced metrology professionals and production floor personnel. The tester meets ASTM E18, ISO 6508-2, and BS EN ISO 6508-2 standards, making it audit-ready across multiple international compliance frameworks.
Key Features
-
Broad Rockwell Scale Coverage with Automatic Multi-Scale Conversion - Measures all standard Rockwell hardness scales (HRA, HRB, HRC, HRD, HRE, HRF, HRG, HRH, HRK, HRL, HRM, HRP, HRR, HRS, HRV) and instantly converts results to Brinell (HB), Vickers (HV), Leeb (HLD), Knoop (HK), and Superficial Rockwell scales eliminating manual lookups and reducing transcription errors in multi-scale inspection workflows.
-
Automatic Test Force Loading & Unloading - The motorized automatic loading and unloading cycle removes operator-induced variability from the test procedure, ensuring consistent pre-load and major load application on every test cycle for reproducible results across long production runs.
-
Wide Material Compatibility - Suitable for hardness testing of carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and engineering plastics, covering the full range of materials encountered in aerospace, automotive, heat treat, tooling, and general manufacturing QC environments.
-
Upper/Lower Limit Settings with Pass/Fail Alarm - Configurable upper and lower hardness limit thresholds trigger an alarm when readings fall outside the acceptable range, enabling fast, reliable GO/NO GO pass/fail decisions in high-volume inspection and production line quality control applications.
-
High-Definition Backlit LCD with USB Data Output - A high-resolution backlit LCD display provides clear, unambiguous hardness readouts in any lighting condition, with USB memory stick output for direct data storage and transfer to a PC for reporting, trending, and traceability documentation.
-
Triple Standard Compliance: ASTM E18, ISO 6508-2 & BS EN ISO 6508-2 - Meets three internationally recognized Rockwell hardness testing standards simultaneously, making the 900-410 a versatile compliance solution for manufacturers supplying customers across North American, European, and global markets.
