Hardness Testing Principle
The hardness value comes from the rate of rebound velocity and impact velocity at 1mm distance from the testing surface. Using the Leeb hardness scale as an example, the following calculation is used to calculate the hardness value:
HL = 1000 × VB / VA
Time
Impact Phase Rebound Phase
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
Turn the meter on by pressing the POWER button. To turn the meter off, press and hold the POWER button for 2 seconds.
Preparation of Test Piece
Please note that measurement values may be affected if the material under test is exposed to extreme temperatures. If the tested material is too rough, a measuring error will appear. The surface of the sample must have metallic luster and the surface must be at and smooth. No oil or dirt should be present.
Curved surface: It is better that the testing surface of the test piece is at. When the curvature radius (R) of the curved surface to be tested is less than 30mm (for D and DL type impact device), a small support ring (included with the R9030) should be used. Self-magnetism of the test piece should be less than 30 Gauss.

Prior to First Measurement
Before rst use or if unused for an extended period of time, 5 measurements should be performed using the included test block. If the average values from the charts at the end of this manual are exceeded, the internal calibration is required (see Calibration Procedure section for details).
Loading Impact Device
Push down the loading sheath to load and lock the impact body in place.
Taking Measurements
1. Press down on the release button located at the top of the impact
device to take a measurement.
The reading will appear on the display matching the selected material, hardness or strength testing and impact direction (see Menu Navigation/ Setup Mode section for details). Note: While taking a measurement, the test piece, impact device and operator are all required to be stable.
2. Five measurements should be performed of the test piece. The
divergence of data should be not exceed ±15HL of the required value.
3. The distance between any two impact points, or from the center of
any impact point to the edge of the test piece should be in accordance with the following specications:
Type of
impact device
D, DC, DL, D+15 No less than: 3mm No less than: 5mm
C No less than: 2mm No less than: 4mm
