User Manual

The 86255 Webster Hardness Tester is based on the Webster hardness testing principle, ideal for measuring the hardness of aluminum alloys, brass, copper, mild steel, and other metal materials. It's especially suited for quick, non-destructive, and individual piece qualification testing of metal profiles, sheets, and tubes in production lines, sales environments, and on construction sites.

Utilizing eddy current induction technology, this tester ensures excellent repeatability and measurement precision. It supports multiple hardness measurement systems including Webster (HWA), Rockwell (HRE, HRF, HRB), Vickers (HV), and Brinell (HB), with easy on-device conversion.

Features

Digital display

Equipped with an OLED screen positioned at the top of the device, the display offers clear readability and eliminates errors caused by analog dial interpretation.

Automatic Data Locking

The auto-lock feature allows you to obtain readings without fully pressing the handle—making operation quicker and more efficient.

Multiple Hardness Scales

Easily switch between six built-in hardness scales: Webster (HWA), Rockwell (HRE, HRF, HRB), Vickers (HV), and Brinell (HB). No need for manual comparison tables.

Tool-Free Calibration

The device supports direct reference and hardness calibration without disassembly. Calibration can be done quickly using a standard block, simplifying the process compared to traditional Webster testers.

High Accuracy & Repeatability

With an accuracy of ±0.5 HWA and repeatability of up to 0.5 HWA, the device meets strict metrology standards and delivers consistent results.

Stores Up to 9 Readings

The built-in memory can store up to 9 sets of data, allowing users to perform multiple tests and track results with ease.

High 0.1 HWA Resolution

Thanks to the eddy current induction technology, the device achieves a resolution of 0.1 HWA, offering precise and reliable measurements.

Mobile App Integration

A dedicated mobile app enables remote testing, mass data storage, result export, and sharing—making it ideal for digital workflows.

All-in-One Handheld Device

Designed for portability and ease of use, this lightweight tool can be operated with one hand—perfect for quick hardness verification on-site.

Ergonomic Build

Crafted from forged aluminum alloy with anodized finishing, the tester offers a comfortable grip and excellent resistance to wear and contaminants.

Standard Hardness Block Included

Comes with a certified Rockwell hardness block that meets strict surface roughness and flatness specifications for reliable calibration.

Durable High-Hardness Indenter

Made from premium materials, the indenter features excellent toughness and long-lasting performance.

Rechargeable lithium battery with ultra-low power consumption

Built-in buzzer for clear operation feedback

Automatic peak value locking during measurement
