QH7 U

Our QH7 U is a HEAVY-DUTY UCI hardness tester that is factory pre-calibrated for steel while for other metals you can calibrate in very simple steps using reference blocks of the same material.

All QH7 models include rechargeable batteries and a Data Logger to store 32000+ measurements that can be transferred to a PC via Bluetooth o USB using DMQ DataCenter software.
