FAQs
What is the PosiTector BHI used to measure?
It measures the indentation hardness of soft metals (like aluminum, copper, and brass), as well as harder plastics and fiber-reinforced composite materials.
How does the PosiTector BHI compare to a traditional analog Barcol Impressor?
The BHI offers significant advantages, including digital memory storage to eliminate transcription errors, user-adjustable measurement time for consistent results, and full compatibility with the PosiSoft reporting suite.
What is the significance of the IP65 rating?
The -rated enclosure indicates that the gage body is highly resistant to dust ingress and is protected against low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for demanding outdoor and industrial field use.
Can I use the PosiTector BHI probe with my existing PosiTector gage body?
Yes, the BHI probe is part of the interchangeable PosiTector platform. It is compatible with Standard color-display bodies and Advanced bodies with serial numbers greater than .
What are the key differences between the Standard (BHI1) and Advanced (BHI3) models?
The Standard model stores readings, while the Advanced model stores readings in up to batches and includes and connectivity for advanced data reporting and graphing.
