The TH-180 is a versatile portable hardness testing instrument, combining dynamic Leeb rebound testing technology with wireless data processing. Part of the family of the world famous TIME TH series portable testing instruments, the TH-180 is the top of the range and allows the user to move freely around the workpiece without being limited or hindered by cables.
In the TH-180, today’s wireless technology has been combined with over 20 years of know-how in the portable hardness testing field. According to DIN Standard 50156 and ASTM A 956.
- Hand-held device with a rugged shock-resistant housing
- Large and clear display with adjustable contrast and backlight
- Converts directly to HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HRA, HS
- Highly accurate ± 4 HL (0.5% at 800 HL) with automatic correction for impact direction
