Universal portable Hardness Tester EQUOTIP3
The Equotip 3 is a versatile portable metal hardness tester offering extended capabilities and unmatched ease of operation. The tester has a large and clear display which is integrated in the robust ABS plastic housing together with the sealed membrane keypad. With variable background lightning, the LCD display offers a clear overview of the recorded metal hardness values even in dimly lit work areas.
In particularly harsh working environments or for more comfortable handling the metal hardness tester Equotip 3 can be stored in a protective bag. To date, Equotip 3 is unmatched in its implementation of the portable metal hardness tester concept and has therefore become established as a globally recognized measuring technique. The features and benefits of the Equotip 3 make it unique as a metal tester.
