The SH-22A is designed for precise measurement of hardness in difficult-to-reach areas of compact parts, metal casts, gears, crankshafts, component parts, and more. It is ideal for the inspection and maintenance of large-scale structures, vehicles, ships, steel towers, bridges, and aircraft.
- Narrow / curved surface can be measured by small diameter probe (compared to the SH-21)
- Tiny indentation (Approx. 0.1mm)
- High durability, rated for over 1 million measurements
- Quickly gets measurements
- Measurement is not affected by material or mass
- Measurement can be done in all directions
- Free from periodic parts replacement by adoption of static loading method
- Static loading method with Vickers indenter
- Upper / Lower limit alarm setting available
