Working Principle
The basic principle is to use an impact body of certain weight impacts against the testing surface under certain test force, then measure the impacting velocity and the rebounding velocity of the impact body respectively when the spherically test tip is located 1mm above the testing surface.
The calculation formula is as follows:
HL=1000×VB/ VA
Where:
HL—— Leeb hardness value
VB—— Rebounding velocity of the impact body
VA—— Impacting velocity of the impact body
Working Conditions
l Working temperature:-10℃~+50℃;
l Storage temperature:-30℃~+60℃
l Relative humidity: ≤90%;
The surrounding environment should avoid of vibration, strong magnetic field, co

Operating Method and Attentions
1 Start-Up
----Insert the plug of the impact device into the socket of impact device on the instrument.
----Press the power key,now power is on. The instrument is in working mode.
2 Loading
Pushing the loading-tube downwards until contact is felt. Then allow it to slowly return to the starting position or using other method locking the impact body.
3 Localization
Press the impact device supporting ring firmly on the surface of the sample, the impact direction should be vertical to the testing surface.
4 Testing
----Press the release button on the upside of the impact device to test. The sample and the impact device as well as the operator are all required to be stable now. The action direction should pass the axis of the impact device.
----Each measure area of the sample usually need 3 to 5 times of testing operation. The result data dispersion should not more than mean value±15HL.
----The distance between any two impact points or from the center of any impact point to the edge of testing sample should conform to the regulation of Table 4-1.
---- If want accurate conversion from the Leeb hardness value to other hardness value, contrastive test is needed to get conversion relations for the special material. Use inspection qualified Leeb hardness tester and corresponding hardness tester to test at the same sample respectively. For each hardness value, each measure homogeneously 5 points of Leeb hardness value in the surrounding of more than three indentations which need conversion hardness, using Leeb hardness arithmetic average value and corresponding hardness average value as correlative value respectively, make individual hardness contrastive curve. Contrastive curve at least should include three group of correlative data.

5 Read Measured Value
After each impact operation, the LCD will display the current measured value, impact times plus one, the buzzer would alert a long howl if the measured value is not within the valid range. When reaching the presetting impact times, the buzzer will alert a long howl. After 2 seconds, the buzzer will alert a short howl, and display the mean measured value.
6 Notification
---- Replacing the impact device must be done during Power off. Otherwise the main body could not identify the type of the impact device, and it may damage the circuit board of the main body.
----You could not save the current test value if the impact time is less than the presetting times value.
---- Only type D and type DC of impact device have the function of strength test option. You can not change the setting to strength testing when using other types of impact device. The setting would be set to hardness testing automatically after replacing the impact device whether the setting is hardness testing or not before.
---- Not all materials could convert to all hardness scale value. The hardness scale is reset to HL automatically after changing the material. So select material firstly before changing the hardness scale.
Instrument Maintenance
After the impact device has been used for 1000 to 2000 times, please use the nylon brush provided to clean the guide tube and the impact body. Follow these steps when cleaning the guide tube,
1.unscrew the support ring
2.take out the impact body
3.spiral the nylon brush in counterclockwise direction into the bottom of guide tube and take it out for 5 times
4.install the impact body and support ring when complete.
