HardnessCheck - Software
The HardnessCheck software allows you to manage all the functions of the Gibitre hardness testers and to archive the Results in the SQL Database.
Main Characteristics
• The software is compatible with Windows 10 and 11.
• Connection between PC and Durometer using the supplied USB cable
• Multiple instruments connected to the same PC can be used simultaneously.
• The program allows to carry out tests automatically in different points of the specimen (with optional rotating plate).
• The program saves all results in the Gibitre SQl database for complete traceability of your tests.
Production Control or Research ?
The software incorporates some features that make it IDEAL FOR PRODUCTION CONTROL:
• Quick identification of the test
• Automatic execution of the test in several points of the specimen (with optional rotating plate)
• Comparison with the tolerance limits
• Statistical analysis of the tests in progress
• Automatic saving of results in the SQL database.
More advanced features allow you to use it as a real R&D TOOL:
- Regression analysis
- Hysteresis analysis
- Exports of the points of the Hardness-Time curves
- Possibility to modify the standard test parameters
Calculated Results: IRHD Hardness
The software includes all the calculations required by ISO 48-2 and ASTM D1415 and some calculations for advanced analysis of the results.
The dedicated page describes all the available calculations.
Calculated Results: SHORE Hardness
The software includes all the calculations required by ISO 48-4 and ASTM D2240 and some calculations for advanced analysis of the results.
The dedicated page describes all the available calculations.
Management of Test Results
The results and test curves of all the tests carried out are saved in the Gibitre SQL database and are available through the Datagest program.
Datagest is the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) which is always installed in combination with all Gibitre instrument-control programs.
The program is the collector for all the test result produced with the instruments connected and permits to manage the common Archives used by the instruments (Product List, Customer List, Tolerance limits, Order List, etc)
Test report
Can be printed or saved to pdf in one of the available languages. The format of the Test Report can be customized by the user.
Tolerance Limits
The Datagest program allows you to define specific tolerance limits for each Product, Customer, Test Procedure and Aging Treatment.
For each result to be calculated, tolerance limits and alarm limits can be defined.
The comparison between the results and the tolerance limits is carried out automatically at the end of each test: the test results are colored (Green, Yellow or Red) based on the outcome of the comparison with the limits.
The outcome of the check is saved in the database together with the results.
Statistics of ongoing tests
The programs automatically process the statistical analysis of the tests in progress by calculating:
• Maximum
• Minimum
• Average
• Median
• Standard deviation
• Cp
• Cpk
In addition, the Gaussian curve relative to the results is shown together with the tolerance limits to immediately highlight the progress of the tests in progress.
The Datagest program allows you to process more detailed statistics related to the saved results and to represent X and R Charts by grouping data by order, batch, batch, date, etc.
Test Curves
• The curves relating to the tests carried out are shown in different colors to associate them immediately with the relative results.
• By selecting a result, the corresponding curve is automatically highlighted.
• The graphical functions integrated in the programs (scale settings, the number of divisions and zoom) allow you to analyze the curves in detail.
• All the curves are saved in the database together with the test results.
Language Selection
All the programs produced by Gibitre are multi-language and allow the operator to select the language of use.
The test report can be produced in the desired language regardless of the language of use of the program.
The languages available at the moment are: Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Czech, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese.
Hardware requirements
• Programs can be installed on standard PCs with WINDOWS 10 or 11 OPERATING SYSTEM.
• The CONNECTION between the instruments and the PC is made using the USB CABLE supplied with the instrument.
• The programs are COMPATIBLE WITH ANTIVIRUS, and other programs installed on the PC.
