August 7, 2025Ernst E-Handy Portable Tester
The E-Handy is a portable, precision hardness tester that uses ERNST’s patented ESATEST® method, which correlates penetration depth with residual electrical resistance. This innovative approach generates a detailed measurement curve during loading, allowing for highly accurate hardness determination by comparing it to a calibrated reference. It offers a reliable and advanced solution for on-the-go hardness testing.

Specifications
Product Specifications
Principle based on the measurement of electrical resistance – Tests in points inaccessible to traditional hardness testers: gears, couplings, cavities, interiors, weld seams, HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) |
1 diamond indenter for the entire range of metals – Simplicity and speed of the testing process |
Continuous measurement of hardness at various loads – Immediate evaluation of the surface heat treatment – A single tool –> Various detections |
ACCREDIA certification (ILAC MRA-Mutual Recognition Arrangements) – Offers a competitive advantage in markets where certification is required |
