The Leeb Portable Metal Hardness Tester PCE-900 measures the hardness of nine different metals using the Leeb rebound method. This means that with the hardness tester a firing pin bounces on a metallic surface and the intensity of the rebound is used as an indicator of the material hardness. The hardness tester PCE-900 measures the metal hardness in 6 different hardness scales, including: Rockwell, Vickers, Leeb, Brinell and Shore. A distinction is made between Rockwell B and C when measuring in the Rockwell scale.
