HBa-1+ is a digital indentation hardness tester for very soft pure aluminum to a very hard aluminum alloy. Effective test range is equivalent to the Brinell Hardness of 25~150 Hb.
It has good stability convenient calibration and high accuracy of detection. Small in size, portable, single hand operation, easy to use and can be used in any occasion as long as the hand can reach.
Can be used for measuring not only Barcol Hardness but also Brinell Hardness (HB), Vickers Hardness (HV), Webster Hardness (HW), Rockwell Hardness (HRB/HRE/HRF/HRH)

The impressor is a portable, handheld, indentation hardness tester for soft metals (Al, Cu) & alloys, fibre reinforced plastics (FRP), and other rigid plastics.
The simplicity of the instrument makes it popular and can be operated with no prior experience. It can be used in any position and in any space that will allow clear reach for the operator’s hand. Hardness reading is instantly indicated on the dial, which is divided into one hundred graduations. No waiting, pre-loading or separate measurements. Simply exert pressure against the instrument to drive the spring-loaded indenter point into the material. The indenter point must be perpendicular to the surface being tested. On very soft materials, the highest reading should be used since cold flow permits the spring-loaded indenter point to continue penetration.
The Impressor weighs only 550 grams. The weight of the entire Impressor package is approx 1.8 kg and comes complete with a carrying case, calibration wrench, leg, and two spare indenter points. Two test pieces with calibration certificates are also supplied with the package.
