Leeb hardness tester with comparison plate (handheld, Leeb D) — Metav IndustryLine

The Leeb hardness tester with comparison plate is a handheld rebound tester designed for rapid, portable hardness verification across steels, cast irons and aluminium cast alloys in workshop and service environments.

• Rebound method Leeb D for robust on-site testing
• Stores up to 300 measurement values
• Rechargeable lithium battery for mobile use
• Displays hardness in HL, HV, HRC and others

Fast, reliable on-site hardness checks

The Leeb D rebound principle enables quick determination of material hardness without lengthy preparation, making it a practical choice for production checks and incoming inspection. With a measurement range 170–960 HLD / 17–68.5 HRC, the instrument covers typical ranges for ferrous components and many cast alloys, delivering immediate numerical results on a clear digital display. This portable unit supports efficient decision-making on the shop floor while avoiding part damage associated with destructive testing.

Traceable readings and dependable accuracy

Industrial decisions require reproducible data: the tester achieves an overall accuracy of ±0.5% and a repeatability of 0.8, figures that indicate tight scatter between consecutive impacts when conditions are controlled. The digital readout provides values in HL, with conversions available to HRC, HV and other scales as indicated on the instrument, enabling straightforward interpretation relative to drawing or specification limits. Users unfamiliar with rebound testing will find the conversion readouts useful for comparing results with traditional hardness scales.

Practical data handling and mobile operation

Data management is simplified by the capacity to store up to 300 values internally, allowing batch checks or traceable series measurements without immediate connection to a PC. Power is supplied by a rechargeable lithium battery, supporting field use and reducing dependency on disposable cells; the unit’s listed mass of 2 kg balances robustness and portability for frequent site inspections. The combination of onboard memory and a long‑life battery reduces downtime and speeds reporting workflows during shift work or service calls.

Ready for workshop conditions and multiple materials

The instrument is specified as suitable for steel, cast iron, steel alloys, spheroidal graphite cast iron and aluminium cast alloys, making it versatile across maintenance, fabrication and quality departments. Delivery includes a comparison block (approx. HL790) for verification and reference, plus practical storage for transport. Metav IndustryLine’s distribution from Emmerich represents a local quality filter for the European market, ensuring dependable availability and a broad spare‑parts and accessory offer for workshop continuity.
