Product Overview
The HP Digital provides a cost-effective solution for measuring material hardness while maintaining the accuracy and reliability required for professional testing applications.
Its compact pocket-sized design allows users to perform hardness measurements wherever required, while advanced digital functions simplify operation and improve measurement consistency.
Powered by a CR 2477 non-rechargeable lithium battery, the HP Digital delivers up to 450 hours of operating time before battery replacement is required.
The instrument stores up to 100 measurements, including standard and peak values, and allows users to adjust test duration, review previous measurements, and transfer data via a USB Type-C interface.
Despite its economical design, the HP Digital maintains high measurement accuracy and complies with ASTM D2240 requirements through precise indenter geometry, correct centring, and accurate correlation between displacement and applied force.
Key Features
Digital Operation for Improved Accuracy
The HP Digital simplifies hardness testing through automated digital measurement control.
By allowing users to define the testing time, the instrument ensures measurements are completed consistently and reduces the risk of errors caused by premature or delayed readings.
Stores up to 100 Measurements
The integrated memory function stores up to 100 measurement results, including both standard readings and peak values.
Users can conveniently review stored measurements directly on the device, improving traceability during inspection and quality control processes.
USB Type-C Data Transfer
Measurement data can be quickly transferred to a computer using the integrated USB Type-C interface.
This provides a simple and efficient way to manage, document, and analyse test results.
Durable Aluminium Housing
The HP Digital features a robust aluminium alloy housing with anodised surfaces, providing excellent durability for everyday industrial and laboratory use.
Its lightweight and compact construction makes it easy to transport between testing locations.
Precision Engineering – Made in Germany
Manufactured with German engineering expertise, the HP Digital is designed to minimise mechanical friction throughout the measuring system.
