  • PCE Instruments 2550 Metal Hardness Tester 170 to 960 HLD

    # 2550

    • Due to its compact design, the PCE-2550 metal hardness tester is very easy to use for incoming and outgoing inspection.
    • The measuring range of the metal hardness tester PCE-2550 is sufficiently large for very soft, as well as for extremely hard surfaces.
    • The measured values ​​can be stored in the PCE-2550 and later readout and processed via the available software.
    • Due to its compact design, the PCE-2550 metal hardness tester is very easy to use for incoming and outgoing inspection.
    • Due to the adjustable hardness scales, the metal hardness tester PCE-2550 is versatile.
    • The measuring range of the metal hardness tester PCE-2550 is sufficiently large for very soft, as well as for extremely hard surfaces.
    • The measured values ​​can be stored in the PCE-2550 and later readout and processed via the available software.
