1Leeb Hardness Test (definition)
An impact body with a spherical test tip made of tungsten carbide is propelled against the sample surface by a
spring force and then rebounds back. At a distance of 1mm from the sample surface, the impact and rebound
velocities of the impact body are measured by the following method: when passing through the coil in its coil
holder, a permanent magnet embedded in the impact body induces in the coil an electric voltage proportional
to the velocity of the magnet. Leeb hardness (HL) is expressed by
1000*
Vi
Vr
HL 
Where HL = Leeb Hardness
Vr= rebound velocity of the impact body
VI= impact velocity of the impact body
The output voltage of the coil when the impact body
passes through the induction coil is illustrated in the
following figure:
A Leeb’s Hardness Tester measures the hardness of
sample material in terms of Hardness Leeb (HL), which
can be readily converted into other Hardness units (Rockwell B and C, Vickers, Brinell and Shore D, etc.)
Notation of Leeb’s Hardness
When measuring the hardness of a sample material using the traditional static hardness testing method, a
change of applied pressure will result in a change in the hardness reading. This will also happen during a Leeb’s
Hardness test when one changes the impact device. In hardness measurement of the same test sample with
different impact devices, the Leeb’s hardness values obtained will vary.
For example: 720HLD≠720HLC
Because different converting curves are obtained from different impact devices, when converting hardness HL
into another hardness values, the notation for the converted hardness value should include the impact device
used.
For example:
Hardness HV converted from hardness HL using impact device D+15 should be written as 22, 8 HV LD+15.
Where: 22=Hardness value HL
8=Hardness value HV
L=Leeb’s Method
D+15=Impact device
Hardness HRC converted from hardness L using impact device D should be written as 35, 9 HRCLD.
Where: 35=Hardness value HL
9=Hardness value HRC
L=Leeb’s Method
D=Impact device

5Preparation before Measuring
5.1 Requirements to the sample
Surface temperature of the sample should be lower than 120 C.
The sample must feature a metallic smooth and ground surface, in order to eliminate erroneous measurements
caused by coarse grinding or lathe scoring. Roughness of the finished surface should not exceed values shown
in following table:

9
Types of impact devices
Max surface roughness of sample Ra
D/ DC, D+15,DL,E
G
C
2μm
7μm
0.4μm
5.2 Requirements related to sample weight
For samples weighing over 5 kg and of compact shape, no support is needed.
Samples weighing between 2-5 kg, and also for heavier samples with protruding parts or thin walls, should be
placed on a solid support in such a manner that they do not bend or move by the impact force.
Samples weighing less than 2 kg should be firmly coupled with a stable support weighing over 5 kg.
For coupling purposes,
The coupling surface between the sample and base plate should be flat, plane parallel and ground.
A proper thin layer of coupling paste is to be applied to the contact surface of the sample.
The sample should be firmly pressed against the base plate surface by moving it with a circular motion.
The direction of impact should be perpendicular to the coupling surface.
For the coupling operation, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
Contact surface between the sample and the base plate must be flat, plane parallel and ground.
The direction of the test impact must be perpendicular to the coupled surface.
Minimum thickness of the sample for coupling under various impact devices are shown in following table:
Types of impact devices
Minimum thickness
D/DC,D+15,DL,E
3mm
G
10mm
C
1mm
Proper Coupling:
Proper coupling requires a little experience. Insufficiently coupled samples produce large variation among
measurements and abnormally low L-values while the operation is characterized by a rattling noise upon
impact of the test tip.
Examples for coupling a test piece with a base plate:
Application of the coupling paste
(As thin as possible).
Mutual rubbing of both parts while firmly
press the sample against the base plate.
A particular advanced of coupling is the possibility of
obtaining a very uniform, rigid connection between the
sample and the support, totally eliminating stresses at
the sample surface. The resulting variation in measured
values is very low.

10
5.3 Requirement on the surface-hardened layer of the sample
Surface-hardened steels, especially case-hardened steels, produce L-values which are too low when
case-hardening depth is small because of their soft core .When measuring with impact devices D, DC, D+15, DL
or E, depth of the hardened layer should be no less than 0.8 mm. When measuring with impact device C, the
depth of the hardened layer should be no less than 0.2 mm.
Types of impact devices
Min. layer thickness for surface hardening
D/DC, D+15,DL,E

C
G
0.2mm
1.8mm
The test sample should not be magnetic.
For test sample of curving surface, where the radius of curvature R is less than 30mm, a small support ring
should be applied.

When measuring hardness with HARTIP 3000, the following has to be noticed: Despite the low mass of the
impact body and low impact energy, a relatively large impact force within short duration is generated when the
impact body hits the measuring surface.

No particular precautions are necessary for heavy-weight samples with compact shape.
Smaller and lighter samples or workpieces may yield or flex under this force, producing too-low L-values with
excessively large variation. Even with big or heavy workpieces, it is possible for thin-wall regions or thinner
protruding parts to yield upon impact. Depending on the frequency of the resilient yielding action, the
measured L-value may be abnormally low or high. Under many situation, potential problems can be checked in
the following manner:
a) Medium-weight samples and also heavier samples with protruding parts or thin walls should be placed on a
solid support in such a manner that they do not move or bend during the test impact.
b) Light-weight samples should be rigidly “coupled” with a non-yielding support such as a heavy base plate.
Clamping in a vice is of no value, since the samples become exposed to stress, and complete rigidity can never
be attained. Consequently, measured L-values would be too small and show excessive variations.
5.4 Samples with Curved Surfaces
Impact testers only work properly if the impact body has a certain position in the guiding tube at the moment
of impact. In the normal position when testing flat and convex-cylindrical samples (such as round samples), the
spherical test tip is located exactly at the end of the guiding tube.
However, when testing spherically or cylindrically shaped concave surfaces, the impact body remains further
within the guide tube or protrudes further therefore. Thus, with such types of curved surfaces, it should be
observed that the radius of curvature R is larger than the values indicated in the following Figure.
Curved surfaces should always be tested with the small support ring.
Impact device types D/DC, D+15, C and E Rmin=30mm
Impact device type G Rmin=50mm

11
For impact devices D, DC, D+15, C and E, special support rings are available to accommodate smaller radii on
convex or concave surface.

6.14.1 Single point calibration
The single point calibration contains two Calibration Modes -- Independent Calibration and Union Calibration.
Union Calibration mode is a traditional calibration method. After calibration, all hardness scales will change
following Leeb hardness.
In Independent Calibration mode, each hardness scale will be calibrated individually. Hardness of the other
conversion will not change. This method applies only to certain special cases. When using this method, the
relationship between the various hardness scales will change. Therefore, after calibration using this method,
only the measurement with the specified hardness unit is valid, and the measurement with other scale is
invalid.
6.14.2 Two point calibration
If the hardness of specimen is far different from the hardness of standard test block, two point calibration is
preferred. Please use two hardness blocks to do the two point calibration. One is the high value block, another
is the low value block. It would be better if the hardness of specimen is between the hardness of two blocks.

Two point calibration is available for HL scale. XL is for low value block, XH is for high value block. Input
standard value of block in 000/999 position, input adjust value in 00 position. Adjust value = Standard value –
Real value
For example, if low block is HL 510, high block is HL 780, the real reading on HL 510 is HL 505, on HL 780 is
790, then
XL= (510, 5)
XH= (780, -10)
Press to change number, press to move to next item. When adjust value doesn’t equal to 0,
the two point calibration effects, a symbol will display at the top line of the screen.
Note: Before formal measuring using the instrument, check if the Calibration Mode is correct.
