M502.241.4 Ultrasonic Hardness Tester — Portable instrument with colour LCD and RS232/Bluetooth (Metav IndustryLine)

The M502.241.4 is a portable ultrasonic hardness tester designed for rapid, precise hardness checks across multiple scales in workshop and production environments

• Portable ultrasonic hardness tester
• Colour LCD with 1,000-measurement memory
• RS232 and Bluetooth data interfaces
• Conforms to ASTM A1038 and DIN 50159-1

Fast, standards-based hardness measurement for production control

The instrument provides a broad measurement range (20–68 HRC / 55–100 HRB / 60–85 HRA / 100–500 HBS / 100–1500 HV) and uses a defined 98 N test force to ensure reproducible readings on small to medium components. Compliance with ASTM A1038-2005 and DIN 50159-1-2008 gives inspection teams a reliable reference for acceptance criteria and process control. Calibrated transfer functions and a manual operating mode simplify measurement on irregular surfaces while maintaining conformity with recognised standards, reducing rework and inspection time.

Secure data handling and flexible connectivity to speed workflows

Equipped with a colour LCD with backlight, internal storage for 1,000 measurements and space for 20 calibration values, the tester supports traceable data collection without immediate PC access. For integration into quality systems, the unit offers RS232 and Bluetooth output for seamless transfer of readings into inspection reports or SPC software. The rechargeable 4.2 V / 4,800 mAh battery and compact 2 kg housing permit extended field use; together these features reduce downtime and improve measurement throughput across inspection routes.

Robust design and practical accessories for in-field use

Built for inspection of forged and cast components, weld spots, stamped parts, mould tools, bearings and gear flanks, the portable tester copes with typical workshop conditions (operating range −10 °C to 50 °C; humidity 30–80%). The instrument is supplied with a connection cable, two comparison blocks and a carrying case to ensure safe transport and quick setup. Manual handling is facilitated by the ergonomics of the housing and clear on-screen menus, so repetitive spot checks are faster and less error-prone than alternative methods.
