QH7 C

Our QH7 C is the most complete and advanced HEAVY-DUTY portable metal hardness tester available from Demeq because it combines the Leeb or rebound method and the ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI) method which compliment one another allowing coverage on the widest range of portable metal hardness testing applications.

Impact devices as well as UCI probes include CalTag technology so that the unit automatically recognizes the device or probe being connected so there is no need for adjustments or calibration.
