Bareiss Barcol is a handheld hardness tester for solid materials such as glass fiber reinforced plastics, thermosetting plastics, hard thermoplastics and light metals. The test specimens should have a flat surface and a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm.

Thanks to the stabilizing ring with a four-point support, the measuring device can be placed on the test specimen in a vertical position, so that it will not tilt during manual measurements and can be correctly loaded, with the necessary high contact force.

The hardness tester announces the successful measuring with an acoustic signal, showing the determined hardness value on its display. The internal memory records up to 300 measured values, which can be exported through the RS-232 interface if necessary.
