QH7 Series
Portable "Heavy-Duty" Hardness Tester
Leeb + UCI
Leeb and or UCI to control all sorts of metal parts.
Cover the widest range of applications combining Leeb and UCI methods of hardness testing. Measure small parts with UCI and get faster and accurate measures in Leeb with our GyroTag technology that automatically corrects the impact angle.
A robust design in a high resistance aluminum enclosure with a large display and the ability to support all impact device types and UCI probes makes the QH7 Series the most complete and advanced option in the dmq QH Family of portable metal hardness testers.

Impact devices with GyroTag
We offer impact devices that are application specific and include GyroTag technology.
Type G impact device
A greater impact energy allows measurements on rough surfaces with little preparation. Recommended for large, founded and forged parts.
Type DL impact device
Features a 50mm long tip and 4mm diameter making it ideal to measure in hard to reach places such as grooves and gears.
Type D impact device
General use impact device that offers the widest ranges in all hardness units and available materials.
Type D impact device comes standard with the QH7 L and QH7 C models.
Type E impact device
Uses a synthetic diamond ball allowing high hardness measurements (up to 1200HV). This is the best option to measure hardened steel or parts with similar treatments.

GyroTag Technology
Exclusive in the 7 Series
GyroTag technology combines automatic impact device angle detection and correction. Both will make your job easier and faster with guaranteed accuracy in your measurements, even when changing impact devices.
UCI Probes
UCI probes are ideal for hardness measurements of small and thin parts and of superficial hardness. They are available in three test loads and choosing the right load depends on the surface finish (roughness) of the test piece that you need to control.
Also included with all UCI probes is CalTag technology which is intregrated calibration for guranteed accuracy
