Working Principle

The energy quotient is quoted in the hardness unit HL and is calculated from comparing the impact and rebound velocities of the impact body. It rebounds faster from harder samples than from softer ones, resulting in a greater energy quotient which is defined as 1000×Vr/ Vi.

HL=1000×Vr/ Vi

Where:

HL— Leeb hardness value

Vr — Rebound velocity of the impact body

Vi — Impact velocity of the impact body

Operating method and attention

1 Start-Up

Press the power key to start up the instrument. The instrument then comes into working mode.

2 Loading

Pushing the loading-tube downwards until contact is felt. Then allow it to slowly return to the starting position or using other method locking the impact body.

3 Localization

Press the impact device supporting ring firmly on the surface of the sample, the impact direction should be vertical to the testing surface.

4 Testing

-Press the release button on the upside of the impact device to test. The sample and the impact device as well as the

operator are all required to be stable now. The action direction should pass the axis of the impact device.

-Each measure area of the sample usually need 3 to 5 times of testing operation. The result data dispersion should not

more than mean value±15HL.

-The distance between any two impact points or from the center of any impact point to the edge of testing sample

should conform to the regulation of Table 4-1.

-If want accurate conversion from the Leeb hardness value to other hardness value, contrastive test is needed to get

conversion relations for the special material. Use inspection qualified Leeb hardness tester and corresponding

hardness tester to test at the same sample respectively. For each hardness value, each measure homogeneously 5

points of Leeb hardness value in the surrounding of more than three indentations which need conversion hardness,

using Leeb hardness arithmetic average value and corresponding hardness average value as correlative value

respectively, make individual hardness contrastive curve. Contrastive curve at least should include three groups of

correlative data.

Type of Impact Device	Distance of center of the two indentations	Distance of center of the indentation to sample edge
Type of Impact Device	Not less than (mm)	Not less than (mm)
D	3	5
DL	3	5
C	2	4

5 Read Measured Value

After each impact operation, the LCD will display the current measured value, impact times plus one, the buzzer would alert a long howl if the measured value is not within the valid range. When reaching the presetting impact times, the buzzer will alert a long howl. After 2 seconds, the buzzer will alert a short howl, and display the mean measured value.

Instrument maintenance

After the impact device has been used for 1000 to 2000 times, please use the nylon brush provided to clean the guide tube and the impact body. Follow these steps when cleaning the guide tube,

1.unscrew the support ring

2.take out the impact body

3.spiral the nylon brush in counterclockwise direction into the bottom of guide tube and take it out for 5 times

4.install the impact body and support ring when complete.

Release the impact body after use.

Any lubricant is prohibited inside the impact device.
