• Identifies heat-treated from nonheat-treated parts.
• Provides correlation between a bench mounted hardness tester and the production line.
• Segregates materials in stock.
• Differentiates between soft or work-hardened material.
• Identifies parts made from improper or substandard alloys.
• Checks for proper heat-treatment response.
• Useful in conjunction with stationary laboratory hardness testers. Gives a rapid 100% check on parts which would consume many man hours with slower operating test equipment.
• Can be used on assemblies that cannot be brought to the labs.

Webster Hardness Testers Feature:

• One hand operation and portability.
• Round 3/8 inch diameter anvil permits testing a great variety of shapes.
• Simple operation permits readings independent of the operator's skill.
• Test is made by simply applying pressure to the handles until "bottom" is felt.
• Easy-to-read dial indicator with 20 graduations permits use of the tester as "go" and "no-go" gauge.
