Intelligent Pendulum Hardness Tester
Model No. :
Model No. : 1306
Brand : BEVS
The BEVS 1306 series is a high-precision instrument that measures the hardness of dried paint and coating films by determining the damping time of an oscillating pendulum on the test surface. Its intelligent features automatically compensate for environmental and operational variables, eliminating human error and ensuring highly reliable results in critical quality control and R&D applications, particularly for demanding sectors like automotive coatings.
- Fully automatic operation maximizes accuracy
- Integrates Persoz and König testing methods
- Automatically compensates for environmental conditions
− Features
- Dual Standard Capability: Designed to perform both the Persoz (500g weight, ball) and König ( weight, ball) tests, providing comprehensive hardness data according to key international standards.
- Full Automation for Reliability: Ensures precise, repeatable operation through full automatic operation, including pendulum release and damping time measurement, mitigating variance caused by manual intervention.
- Integrated Environmental Monitoring: Features automatic monitoring of temperature and humidity within the test environment, issuing warnings if conditions fall outside the required range.
- Smart Leveling and Vibration Control: Automatically identifies and checks the level condition of the instrument and includes a vibration warning system, ensuring a perfectly stable and horizontal test platform for highly accurate damping results (adjustment range ).
- Intuitive Control Interface: Equipped with an LCD color touch screen that provides a real-time display of the pendulum type, total oscillation count, and test duration, simplifying setup and data review.
- Automatic Pendulum Recognition: The system automatically identifies which pendulum (König or Persoz) is in use, instantly loading the correct technical parameters and oscillation settings, preventing accidental operational error.

FAQs
What is the core principle of Pendulum Hardness testing?
The principle is to measure how quickly a swinging pendulum’s oscillation amplitude decreases when resting on the coating surface. Softer coatings absorb more energy, causing the pendulum’s motion to damp out faster (shorter time or fewer oscillations).
What is the main difference between the Persoz and König pendulum methods?
The main differences are the pendulum’s weight, the ball diameter used for contact, and the starting and ending deflection angles. The Persoz method uses a heavier pendulum () and a larger contact area, while the König method uses a lighter pendulum () and different angular deflection range.
How does the “Intelligent” feature improve test accuracy?
The intelligent features, such as automatic leveling identification and vibration monitoring, ensure that the physical setup is perfect before the test begins. Furthermore, automatic environmental condition checks ensure testing only occurs within the stipulated temperature and humidity range, eliminating common sources of experimental error.
Is calibration required for the BEVS 1306 tester?
Yes, the instrument must be calibrated periodically. Calibration is performed using a certified standard glass plate. The Persoz pendulum must damp out in seconds, and the König pendulum in seconds on this glass reference.
Which industries benefit most from using the BEVS 1306 series?
Industries that require extremely precise and consistent coating hardness measurements, such as automotive coatings, aerospace, high-end consumer electronics, and advanced R&D laboratories, benefit most from the instrument’s automation and precision.
