Brinell Hardness Testing
LCB3100 Brinell Hardness Tester
Next-Level Brinell Hardness Testing
The LCB3100 delivers a wide load range in a rugged, space-saving instrument, eliminating the need for multiple testers. Its fully digital load cell technology ensures accuracy, while the intuitive touchscreen makes setup effortless.
Designed to withstand the demands of production and laboratory environments, the durable construction of the LCR3100 provides dependable, repeatable results for Brinell hardness testing day after day.
Why Choose LECO LCB3100
Engineered for Versatility
The LCB3100 offers 12 selectable test loads ranging from 62.5 kgf to 3000 kgf, providing the versatility to test everything from soft, nonferrous metals to hardened steels. This wide range allows laboratories to perform a variety of Brinell tests on a single instrument, reducing the need for multiple testers or additional weight sets while streamlining testing workflows.
Ease of Use
An intuitive touch-panel interface replaces traditional knobs and switches, making setup and adjustment easy for operators of all experience levels. Test parameters are set directly on screen, and a real‑time LED display shows the applied load for instant visual confirmation. This interface shortens training time and supports consistent testing across operators.
Precision & Consistency
The LCB3100 uses a fully digital load cell with electronic feedback to precisely apply, hold, and release the selected test force. This closed‑loop system minimizes operator influence and eliminates the variability associated with manual weights, ensuring that every indentation is made with the correct load. The result: accurate, repeatable Brinell hardness data you can trust.
Rugged & Efficient Design
A reinforced cast housing encloses and protects the load cell while providing the rigidity needed for accurate indentation, even on large or irregular samples. Automated load application and selectable dwell times (5–60 seconds) help standardize test procedures and speed up throughput. The result is a heavy‑duty instrument built for demanding industrial environments, delivering reliable performance shift after shift.
