Phase2+ PHT-3500 Multi-Function Hardness Tester w/printer
The Phase2+ PHT-3500 Multi-Function Portable Hardness Tester with Built-In Printer is a state-of-the-art Leeb (dynamic) hardness testing instrument engineered for fast, accurate measurement of large, hard metal parts directly in the field or on the production floor. Setting itself apart from standard portable testers, the PHT-3500 is loaded with useful functions and a built-in mini-printer, offering advanced USB output and thermal printing capabilities that make it the go-to solution for documented, on-site hardness testing.
The PHT-3500 automatically performs conversions to Brinell, Rockwell B and C, Vickers, and Shore hardness scales, displaying results instantly without the need for manual reference tables. Automatic mean, minimum, and maximum values are provided, and the large backlit LCD ensures readability in variable lighting conditions. The built-in thermal printer allows measurement reports to be produced immediately on-site, eliminating the need to return to a workstation to document results.
Measuring range spans 200 to 960 HL with an accuracy of +/- 0.5% (referred to L=800) and repeatability accuracy of +/- 4 HL units, providing the precision demanded by quality-critical manufacturing and inspection environments. Compatible materials include steel and cast steel, alloy tool steel, stainless steel, grey cast iron, spheroidal iron, cast aluminum, brass, bronze, and wrought copper alloy, making the PHT-3500 one of the most versatile portable hardness testers available for industrial use.
Key Features
-
Built-In Thermal Mini-Printer - Produces on-site printed hardness reports immediately after testing, eliminating documentation delays and supporting traceability workflows without a PC connection.
-
Multi-Scale Automatic Conversion - Instantly converts and displays results in Brinell, Rockwell B and C, Vickers, Shore, and Leeb (HL) hardness scales with no manual calculation required.
-
USB Output with PC Software - Transfers stored test data to a computer for report generation, trending analysis, and integration into quality management systems.
-
100-Group Data Memory - Stores up to 100 measurement groups on-board, each containing individual readings, mean values, impact direction, material type, and selected hardness scale.
-
Automatic Mean, Min, and Max Reporting - Statistical values are calculated and displayed automatically across each test group, improving measurement confidence and reducing operator workload.
-
Auto Impact Device Identification - Automatically recognizes the connected impact device type, simplifying setup and reducing the risk of operator configuration errors.
