170mm Rockwell Hardness Tester HR-150A 20-70 HRC / 20-100 HRB / 20-88 HRA, Manual Load EN-ISO 6508 - Metav IndustryLine

Take advantage of the combination of robust bench stability, compliance with international standards and three selectable test forces for dependable hardness inspection; order this unit directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application guidance.

HR-150A Rockwell hardness tester – manual tester with 170 mm max workpiece height

The HR-150A is a bench Rockwell hardness tester designed for workshop and quality‑control environments, suited to metals testing where a compact footprint and reproducible results are required.

• Manual test forces for HRA/HRB/HRC ranges
• Complies with EN‑ISO 6508 and ASTM E‑18
• Max workpiece height 170 mm
• Includes diamond and HM indenters

Reliable results backed by recognised standards and clear ranges

The bench tester delivers clear, comparable hardness values across the common Rockwell scales: 20–88 HRA, 20–100 HRB and 20–70 HRC. With three selectable main test forces (approximately 558.4 N, 980.7 N and 1471 N) and a 98.07 N pre‑force, the device provides the force steps needed for standard Rockwell procedures and repeatable measurements. Compliance with EN‑ISO 6508 and ASTM E‑18 ensures readings are meaningful in internal quality control and for cross‑supplier comparison, making this machine a practical choice when traceable, standardised results are required.

Workshop design that supports steady handling and frequent use

Built as a compact bench unit with a mass of 65 kg and dimensions of 500 × 225 × 640 mm, the tester is engineered for stability during indentation, reducing vibration and operator‑induced variation. The 170 mm maximum workpiece height and 128 mm outreach accommodate a wide range of components from small parts to medium housings, while the analogue operation and mechanical controls keep routine use straightforward and robust under shopfloor conditions. The weight and construction give consistent seating and minimise deflection during measurement.

Supplied accessories increase flexibility and immediate usability

Delivered with a set of comparison blocks (4×HRC + 1×HRB), a 120° diamond indenter, an HM indenter Ø 1.588 mm and three support plates (Ø150, Ø60 and V‑form), the unit is ready for typical hardness checks on ferrous and non‑ferrous materials. It is suitable for testing various steels as well as cast iron, copper and brass, enabling rapid bench verification without the need to source additional basic accessories. These inclusions simplify commissioning and help laboratories and workshops to begin routine inspection immediately.

Simple energy requirements and analogue operation for straightforward integration

The tester runs on standard mains (230 V, 50/60 Hz) and features manual force application with analogue readout, which is preferred in many service and maintenance settings for its predictability and low maintenance. The combination of mechanical operation and standard power supply keeps running costs low and reduces downtime risks. For operations seeking digital networking or automated data capture, this analogue unit provides a dependable baseline instrument for hardness assessment and incoming goods inspection.
