86252DL Leeb Hardness Tester
The DL impact device is designed for hardness testing in confined or hard-to-reach spaces.
Advanced dual-coil technology ensures high measurement accuracy.
The probe includes an orientation sensor to eliminate directional measurement errors.
Supports multiple hardness scales and material types.
The 86252DL is an all-in-one hardness tester that operates based on the Leeb hardness principle, making it ideal for testing a wide range of metals. Equipped with the DL impact device, it's particularly suitable for measuring hardness in narrow spaces, such as grooves or gear teeth. The device incorporates advanced dual-coil technology for superior accuracy and repeatability. Its built-in orientation sensor automatically compensates for any directional measurement deviations. The tester supports various hardness scales—including Leeb (HL), Vickers (HV), Brinell (HB), Shore (HS), and Rockwell (HRA, HRB, HRC)—eliminating the need for manual conversions.
Application
The 86252DL is equipped with the DL impact device and offers a wide selection of built-in metal types, making it adaptable for diverse metal hardness testing requirements.

Operation
Loading: Push down the loading sleeve of the probe to lock the impact body.
Positioning: Press the probe firmly against the surface of the object to be measured and keep it still.
Measurement: Press the release button on the top of the probe to measure the hardness of the object.
Cautious
When measuring, the distance between any two indentations should not be less than 3mm, and the distance between the center of the indentation and the edge of the object to be measured should not be less than 5mm.
After use, the impact body should be loosened.
The use of various lubricants is strictly prohibited in the impact device.

FAQ
-
What is the thinnest thickness a durometer can measure and what is the thinnest thickness after coupling?
Leeb hardness tester is only suitable for large and heavy workpieces, small and thin parts must be coupled to a solid support for testing; DL-type impact device is measured by the minimum mass of 5kg, the minimum thickness of 25mm, if the weight or thickness does not meet the requirements, must be coupled to a solid support for testing, coupled to the minimum thickness of the measured object is 3mm.
