The PH1200 Hardness Probe is a pen-style pocket hardness tester designed to measure the surface hardness of coatings using the half-ball indenter scratch method. Its compact and handy design makes it the go-to tool for field and production line testing, particularly in the automotive sector, where it is widely used to complement laboratory testing.
The unit includes three interchangeable springs with different force ranges and allows the fitting of half-sphere tips with diameters of 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm and 1 mm, meeting the specifications of leading automotive manufacturers (Opel, Bosch, Volkswagen, Volvo) and the ISO 1518 and EN 438-2 standards.
