Webster Model B for Aluminum Alloys

A Portable, Fast, Accurate Hardness Gauge Available in Several Models for Testing Materials such as Aluminum

Quickly identify tempers.

Tests a variety of shapes that other testers cannot check: Extrusions, Tubing and Flat Stock.

Uses and Applications:

• For identifying heat-treated from non-heat-treated parts
• Provides correlation between a bench mounted hardness tester and the production line
• For segregating materials in stock
• For differentiating between soft or work-hardened material
• For identifying parts made from improper or substandard alloys
• Checking for proper heat-treatment response
• Useful in conjunction with stationary laboratory hardness testers. Gives a rapid 100% check on parts which would consume many man-hours with slower operating test equipment
• can be used on assemblies which cannot be brought to the laboratory

Features:

• One hand operation and portability
• Round 3/8 inch diameter anvil permits testing a great variety of shapes
• Simple operation permits readings independent of the operator's skill
• Test is made by simply applying pressure to the handles until "bottom" is felt
• Easy-to-read dial indicator with 20 graduations permits use of the tester as "go" and "no-go" gauge, or values can be converted to other standard scales
• Standard hardness gauge tests materials up to 1/4 inch in thickness
• Increased capacities available up to 1 inch
