TIME 5100 Digital Portable Hardness Tester

Model - TIME 5100 (TH 170) :

• The TIME 5100 (TH 170) is a portable hardness tester series which covers a wide range of testing. The TIME 5100 is for standard testing above 5mm, TIME 5102 (TH 172) for lighter or thinner material and the TIME 5104 (TH 174) for hard to reach locations. This range has been around the industry for 20 years and is a very reliable, quality build. It comes highly recommended.
• Tried and true, the TIME 5100 series is a portable hardness series of testers that are able to provide the results in applications where bench mount hardness testers can't be used. The TIME 5100 is powered by AA batteries, which is much more convenient than rechargeable battery units. TIME 5100 has onboard memory and the device has basic communication with your computer, using Windows HyperTerminal.
• The TIME 5100 series uses rebound technology and the result is measured in the LEEB Scale or HL. This is converted to the standard scales of Rockwell C, Rockwell B, Brinell, Vickers & MpA strength depending on the material and indenter used. The TIME 5100 provides accurate results and with the added versatility and portability.
• They have the ability to test on various Metals including Steel, Stainless steel, Aluminium, copper and other variations.

TIME 5100 (Standard) : The TIME 5100 (TH-170) has a D type impact device and is used for general purpose testing of samples greater than 5mm thickness. Using the LEEB rebound method the results can be displayed as Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell and Shore hardness values. These values can then be used for quality control and wear and tear analysis.
TIME 5102 (Thin material) : Should you need to test lighter or thinner samples then you may wish to consider the TIME 5102 (TH 172). The C-type impact device has a lighter impact force which allows if to test thinner samples and the result is measured in HLC rather than HLD. The TIME 5102 (TH-172) can test samples from 1mm provided they are coupled. If they are not coupled or stable and secure, the sample will retain energy or vibration from the impact of the indentor. This can result in a lower hardness reading. Please ensure that small or thin work pieces are coupled for an accurate result.
TIME 5104 (Needle Point for hard to reach Testing) :
For hard to reach locations we recommend the TIME 5104 (TH-174). It comes with a needle point indenter so that is it perfect for deep crevices, and also for testing odd surfaces such as teeth on gears, o-ring grooves or any notched/stepped parts :
