What should be paid attention to when measuring a portable Richmond hardness meter [Information]

The portable Richter hardness meter can measure a variety of metal materials easily and quickly based on the Richter hardness measurement principle. While instantly displaying the hardness measurement value, it can convert freely between different hardness standards, with stable performance and affordable prices.

The portable high-precision Richter hardness meter adopts an internationally popular fully enclosed metal shell, which is ergonomic. The surface is sandblasted and matched with stainless steel brushed plugs. It is corrosion-resistant and increases aesthetics, making it strong and durable. It also has excellent anti-electromagnetic, vibration and other interference capabilities. It is a practical hardness meter that is highly value-for-money and cost-effective. So what should be paid attention to when measuring a portable Richter hardness meter? Let’s analyze it below:

(1) Replacing the impact device must be done in the shutdown state, otherwise the impact device type will not be automatically identified, and it may also cause damage to the instrument circuit board.

(2) Under normal circumstances, the current measured value cannot be stored when the set number of impacts has not been reached. If you want to store it at this time, you can first press the [Average] key to end the measurement in advance before storing it.

(3) When pressing the [Average] key to end the measurement in advance, the functions such as [Automatic storage], automatic data transmission] in the [System Settings] menu do not work.

(4) Only D-type and DC-type impact devices have strength measurement functions, so when using other types of impact devices, the [Hardness/Strength] setting cannot be modified. If the D/DC-type impact device is set to [Strength] and then replaced with other impact devices, the [Hardness/Strength] setting will be automatically modified to [Hardness].

(5) When set to [Intensity] measurement, the hardness system will not be set (the cursor will skip from [Hardness System]).

(6) Not all materials can be converted into all hardness systems. After changing the materials, the hardness system will automatically restore to Richter HL. Therefore, when setting conditions, you must first set [Material] and then set [Hardness System].

Mechanical equipment is essentially the same. Only by mastering the correct method can the entire experimental process be smoother and the experimental data are more accurate.
