Ultrasonic Hardness Tester M502.241.1 — handheld tester with Colour LCD and RS232/Bluetooth

The Ultrasonic Hardness Tester M502.241.1 is a compact, portable instrument for fast hardness checks on forgings, castings, weld spots and bearing surfaces in workshop and field environments.

• Wide measurement range across common hardness scales
• Colour LCD with memory for 1,000 readings
• RS232 and Bluetooth data output for easy logging
• Rechargeable battery for uninterrupted mobile use

Consistent, standards‑based hardness data for process control

The unit provides a broad measurement range covering HRC, HRB, HRA, HBS and HV scales, enabling a single instrument to replace multiple gauge types in routine inspections. Calibrated conversion algorithms and the device conformity to ASTM A1038-2005 and DIN 50159-1-2008 ensure readings can be used for acceptance testing and process control. With a defined measurement force of 10 N, the tester offers repeatable impact conditions; this improves comparability between sequential readings and supports reliable decision making in production or maintenance workflows.

Portable operation and convenient data handling

A bright Colour LCD with backlight displays the current value and supports quick checks even under workshop lighting. The tester stores 1,000 measurements and 20 calibration values, allowing sustained inspection runs without immediate transfer to a PC. For traceability and integration into documentation systems, RS232/Bluetooth outputs permit direct data export to logging software or handheld terminals. The device is powered by a 4.2 V / 4,800 mAh rechargeable battery, which keeps field operations efficient and reduces the need for frequent battery changes.

Built for workshop conditions and versatile applications

Designed for manual operation, the tester withstands typical environmental ranges from -10 °C to 50 °C and relative humidity between 30–80%, matching conditions found in many production halls and on-site service tasks. Supplied accessories include a connection cable, two comparison blocks and a protective case to simplify transport and set‑up. The compact format (approx. 160 × 80 × 31 mm) and a weight around 2 kg make the instrument straightforward to handle during repeated spot checks on gears, bearing flanks, stamped parts and heat‑affected zones.

Practical benefits for inspection routines

Onboard memory and wireless data transfer reduce manual transcription, cutting administrative overhead and the risk of recording errors. The rapid readout and robust conversion routines translate into faster inspection cycles and higher throughput in incoming inspection, heat‑treatment control and maintenance checks. The combination of portability, standards compliance and data connectivity supports both production floor use and mobile service operations, improving traceability across the measurement chain.
