The PHB-3000 Series Electric Portable Brinell Hardness Tester sets a new benchmark for convenience and accuracy in field and laboratory applications. Introduced in 2021 as a patented innovation, it utilizes advanced hydraulic technology to generate a stable 3000 kgf test force through a 10 mm ball — all controlled with a single button for effortless, repeatable measurements.
Automatic Force Application and Hold: With a single button, the PHB-3000E automatically applies and maintains the Brinell test force in full compliance with international standards, ensuring consistent and globally accepted results.
Effortless, Labor-Saving Operation: Eliminates manual handle loading — reducing operator fatigue and significantly improving testing efficiency.
Real-Time Status Indication: Intuitive indicator lights provide clear visual feedback of operating status, making it easy to monitor each test step at a glance.
High-Accuracy Performance: Delivers test force precision that fully meets ISO and ASTM Brinell hardness requirements, guaranteeing stable, repeatable data.
