NOVOTEST LAB Leeb Wireless Hardhedstester

Wireless hardness testing with full documentation

The wireless connection to the NOVOTEST Lab app provides advanced features normally only available in larger stationary systems:

• Live display of measurements on smartphone or tablet
• Statistics, histograms, and trend analysis
• Photo and video capture of measurement point
• Text and voice notes for documentation
• Cloud storage and archiving
• One-click generation and sharing of reports

According to the product brochure, measurement data can be stored locally or in the cloud and transferred via email or messaging directly from the app

Ideal for NDT, QA, and maintenance

The portable solution is suitable for non-destructive testing (NDT) of large or fixed components where traditional stationary hardness testers cannot be used.

Typical applications:

• Welds and heat-affected zones
• Steel and metal structures
• Cast components
• Machine parts and shafts
• Offshore, energy, and process industries
• Production control and incoming inspection

Measurement in multiple hardness scales

The instrument measures using the Leeb method (HL) and can automatically convert to a range of standard hardness scales:

• HL (Leeb)
• HRC (Rockwell C)
• HRB (Rockwell B)
• HB (Brinell)
• HV (Vickers)
• Shore (HS)
• MPa (tensile strength for steel)

Additionally, users can calibrate custom scales for specific materials or internal standards

Supported materials

Pre-calibrated materials include:

• Carbon steel and alloy steel
• Stainless steel
• Cast iron (including nodular)
• Aluminium
• Brass
• Bronze
• Copper

Custom materials can be created via the app

Key advantages

• Wireless Leeb probe (Type D)
• Smartphone-based measurement system
• Fast onsite measurement without destruction
• Advanced data management and reporting
• Photo and video documentation
• Cloud integration
• Compact and lightweight design
• Suitable for both field and laboratory use
