Bareiss hardness tester for composite materials (car interior)

Bareiss hardness tester for composite materials (car interior) for Application-Based Model Selection

This range is suited for intended for comparing closely related models before choosing a final configuration. It is especially useful for routine testing, inspection, and quality-control workflows, where the right choice often depends on differences in configuration, range, portability, and application fit. 

The composite material typically contains foam, and other materials may contain metals, plastics, leather, or wood to increase structural strength. It is most suitable for use in automobile interior such as seat, armrest, headrest, inner door plate to do hardness test.

Bareiss hardness tester for composites - Size and Weight

Method Ø 15mm

QUICK TIP:

Measuring principle

The indenter of the instrument penetrates the specimen from the surface. This indentation depth is recorded and interpreted in the unit of Newton.

Product Q&A

What is the Bareiss HPE II KFZ designed for?

It is developed for hardness testing of composite materials that combine two or more material groups, commonly found in automotive interiors such as seats, armrests, headrests, and inner door panels.

Which materials can it test?

The HPE II KFZ can test composites containing foam, metals, plastics, leather, or wood, making it versatile for layered or reinforced materials.

What is the measurement principle?

The tester uses an indenter that penetrates the specimen surface, and the depth of indentation is measured in Newtons to determine hardness.

What are the available test methods?

Methods include Ø 15 mm and Ø 10 mm indenters, which allow for flexible testing depending on sample size and structure.

How easy is it to use in industrial applications?

The HPE II KFZ is compact, ergonomic, and suitable for on-site testing in automotive manufacturing and material research labs.

Does it support large-scale projects?

For more extensive material testing requirements, integration with other systems like Galdabini testing machines is recommended.

What kinds of users typically benefit from this product line?

Mostly organizations involved in rubber, elastomer, plastics, coatings, and metal quality control, where buyers need to compare scale type, probe configuration, load method, and portability across related models.
