ADL DU110 Universal Hardness Tester
The ADL DU110 is a professional universal portable hardness tester engineered for rapid, non-destructive metal testing in the field and machine shop. Operating on the dynamic Leeb rebound principle with an external Type-D impact device, it delivers instant multi-scale conversions across HRC, HRB, HRA, HB, HV, and Shore (HSD) with on-board memory and USB reporting.
Features & Benefits
-
Dynamic Leeb Rebound Principle (ASTM A956 / ISO 16859): Provides fast, repeatable, non-destructive hardness testing across solid forgings, dies, molds, and heavy mechanical fabrications.
-
Universal Multi-Scale Hardness Conversion: Automatically converts raw Leeb (HLD) values into standard Rockwell (HRC, HRB, HRA), Brinell (HB), Vickers (HV), and Shore (HSD) scales.
-
360° Omnidirectional Testing: Intelligent internal compensation automatically corrects for impact angle whether testing downward, horizontally, or overhead.
-
Broad Material Compatibility: Pre-calibrated lookup curves for carbon steel, alloy tool steel, stainless steel, gray cast iron, nodular iron, cast aluminum alloys, brass, bronze, and wrought copper.
-
Large Backlit Screen with Real-Time Statistics: Displays individual impact values, run averages, test counts, Min/Max limits, and standard deviation on an illuminated LCD.
-
Comprehensive Kit with Calibrated Reference Block: Includes an external Type-D impact probe, certified calibrated Leeb test block, small work support ring, and heavy-duty transport case.
Description
Designed for quality assurance inspectors, heat treatment facilities, forge shops, and structural integrity auditors, the ADL DU110 provides reliable hardness evaluations on heavy machinery, large castings, pressure vessels, and installed structural steel components. Operating according to the standardized Leeb rebound method (ASTM A956 / ISO 16859), the instrument propels a spring-loaded tungsten carbide impact body against the test surface, calculating the ratio of rebound velocity to impact velocity to produce high-precision hardness values.
