TH-170 is the newest addition to our range of portable rebound hardness testers, with updated and advanced features, following Leebs principle. The main new features of TH-170 includes the use of regular AAA batteries, USB interface for data transfer to your PC or printer, automatic identification of impact direction which reduces your meauring errors as a result of wrong settings, backlight display for use in dark areas, and much more.

TH-170 Hardness Tester, with integrated Universal D Impact device, utilizes state-of-the-art micro-electronic technology, comes with a pocket sized carrying case and incorporates a hardness impact probe, microprocessor and data display in a single, compact unit.

TH-170 provides exceptional reliability for a wide measuring range, and is capable of automatically converting and displaying measurements into Brinell, Rockwell, Leebs, Vickers and Shore hardness values.

Conforming to ASTM A956 standard, the new TH-170 Portable hardness tester covers an extensive range of applications in the industry and supply the required test results, in almost every application, where bench-top hardness testers can not be used. As a result of following the Leebs rebound principle, the minimum requirements that have to be met in order to achieve accuracy with TH170, are minimum thickness of 3/8" (10mm) and weight of 11lb (5kg) for the samples. If your samples are thin or light-weight, you may consider our advanced Computest portable hardness tester.

The new design of TH-170 with higher quality and more ergonomic handling, together with many advanced features, makes TH170 a competitive and top-contender rebound hardness tester on the market.

Efficiently supported by our Qualitest in-house service department, TH170 is a product which offers an unbeatable price/performance ratio to our customers.
