Note: When using a Leeb hardness tester for measurement, the tested workpiece needs to be suitable for the corresponding testing conditions, mainly consisting of three requirements: the workpiece weight should not be less than 2KG, the small thickness should not be less than 10mm, and the surface roughness should not exceed 1.6um. When the above conditions are not suitable, stable support or dense coupling is required!

The Leeb hardness tester meets the standard
1. GB/T 17394.1-2014 "Leeb hardness test for metallic materials - Part 1: Test method"
2. GB/T 17394.2-2012 "Leeb hardness test for metallic materials - Part 2: Verification and calibration of hardness testers"
3. GB/T 17394.3-2012 "Leeb hardness test for metallic materials - Part 4: Calibration of standard hardness blocks"
4. GB/T 17394.4-2014 "Leeb hardness test for metallic materials - Part 4: Standard value conversion table"
5. Design basis standard: Technical conditions for Leeb hardness tester JB/T 9378-2001
Requirements for the surface of the tested sample
The surface condition of the sample should meet the relevant requirements in the testing range table.
The surface temperature of the sample should not be too high and should be less than 120 ℃.
The surface roughness of the sample should not be too large, otherwise it may cause measurement errors. The tested surface of the sample should show a metallic luster, and be flat, smooth, and free of oil stains.
● Requirements for sample weight: For heavy samples larger than 5kg, no support is required; During testing, specimens weighing 2-5kg, those with overhanging parts, and thin-walled specimens should be supported by objects to avoid deformation, bending, and movement caused by impact forces. For medium-sized specimens, place them on a flat and sturdy surface, and place them steadily without any shaking.
● Curved specimen: The test surface of the specimen is flat. When the curvature radius R of the tested surface is less than 30mm (D, DC, C, DL type impact devices) and less than 50mm (G type impact devices), small or irregular support rings should be used during testing.
The sample should have a corresponding thickness, and the small thickness of the sample should comply with the provisions of the impact device table.
For specimens with a surface hardening layer, the depth of the hardening layer should comply with the provisions of the impact device table.
● Coupling
1) For lightweight specimens, they need to be tightly coupled with a sturdy support body, and the two coupling surfaces need to be flat and smooth. The amount of coupling agent should not be too much, and the testing direction should be perpendicular to the coupling plane;
2) When the sample is a large-area plate, long rod, or bent part, even if the weight and thickness are large, it may still cause deformation and instability of the sample, resulting in inaccurate test values. Therefore, it should be firmly fixed or supported on the back of the test point.
The magnetic properties of the sample itself should be less than 30 Gauss
measuring method
Press the release button on the upper part of the impact device for testing. At this point, it is required that the specimen, impact device, and operator are all stable, and the direction of the force should pass through the axis of the impact device.
Each measuring part of the sample is generally tested five times. The data dispersion should not exceed ± 15HL of the average value.
The distance between any two indentations or the distance between the middle of any indentation and the edge of the specimen should comply with the provisions in the table below.
For specific materials, in order to accurately convert the Leeb hardness value to other hardness values, comparative tests need to be conducted to obtain the corresponding conversion relationship. The method is to conduct tests on the same sample using a certified Leeb hardness tester and the corresponding hardness tester. For hardness values, measure 5 points of Richter hardness uniformly distributed around three or more hardness indentations that need to be converted. Use the average Richter hardness value and the corresponding average hardness value as corresponding values, and create a hardness comparison curve. The comparison curve should include at least three sets of corresponding data.

Maintenance and repair
1. Impact device
After using it for 1000-2000 times, use a nylon brush to clean the catheter and impact body of the impact device. When cleaning the catheter, first unscrew the support ring, then remove the impact body, rotate the nylon brush counterclockwise into the tube, pull it out to the bottom, repeat this process for 5 times, and then install the impact body and support ring;
After use, the impact body should be released;
Lubricants are strictly prohibited from being used inside the impact device.
2. Normal maintenance procedures
When using standard Rockwell hardness blocks for calibration, if the error is greater than 2HRC, it may be due to wear and failure of the ball head, and replacement of the ball head or impact body should be considered.
When there are other abnormal phenomena in the hardness tester, please do not disassemble or adjust the fixed assembly components. After filling out the warranty card, submit it to our company's maintenance department to implement the warranty regulations.
