3. Overview
The Equotip Piccolo 2 / Bambino 2 is used for testing the hardness typically of metallic surfaces.
The tester measures the Leeb hardness HLD (HLDL with DL Accessory Kit), employing the rebound
method. As a result of its compact design, measurements can be carried out quickly, on the spot and
in any position and direction. Conversions of the determined HLD or HLDL hardness to different hard-
ness scales are provided to Brinell (HB), Vickers (HV), Rockwell (HRB, HRC) and Shore (HS).
3.1. Application Examples
• Hardness tests on already assembled machines or steel and cast constructions.
• Testing of metallic workpieces when the test indentation should be as small as possible.
• Quality control measurements for quick determination of a particular heat treatment condition.
• Fast testing of numerous measuring points to examine the change of hardness over large areas.
• Automated testing (Piccolo 2 only)
Caution:
Other applications could be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage
caused by improper use or incorrect operation.
