Proceq's Equotip 550 Leeb D and UCI hardness tester tests on-site heavy, large or installed parts and fine-grained materials with any shape in addition to heat-treated surfaces. This model will also work with Rockwell testing but you need to purchase an additional probe for that application.
Features on-screen feedback which reduces measurement inaccuracies which can be caused by human error. The Proceq Equoptip 550 includes ready-to-go reports through powerful built-in reporting. Extremely durable touchscreen with enhanced software features and analysis functions.
Equotip 550 Portable Leeb D and UCI Hardness Tester takes advantage of a new generation full color, dual processor Touchscreen Unit with enhanced software capabilities. The instrument offers a unique range of functions which ultimately help speed up on-site and laboratory inspections and analysis.

Leeb D Features:
Wide Measurement Range |
Leeb D impact devices are best suited for on-site testing of heavy, large or already installed parts. |
Broad Hardness Scales Coverage |
The measurements are automatically converted to all common hardness scales (HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HRA, HS) as required. |
Impact Devices & Accessories |
Proceq offers a wide variety of impact devices along with support rings to serve most hardness testing requirements. |
Test Blocks Portfolio |
Extensive range of precise hardness test blocks available for each impact device with different hardness levels for regular verification. |
UCI Features:
Adjustable test load |
The required test load can be selected by the user in the settings menu. For each measurement series, the force can be chosen from five levels between HV1 and HV5 (~10 N and ~50 N), to fit a wide range of applications. The minimum required mass for reliable UCI measurements is 0.3 kg (0.66 lbs), and a thickness of at least 5 mm (0.2 inch). Examples: HV1 - Precision parts, thin coatings, hardened layers |
Optional Special Foot |
The optionally available special foot increases the measurement repeatability. It can be used for flat or curved surfaces. For curved surfaces there are two different apertures, one for diameters from 5 to 25 mm and one for larger diameters from 20 to 70 mm. |
