Proceq Equotip Piccolo
Portable Hardness Tester

The Equotip Piccolo is a revolutionary portable rebound hardness tester for precise measurements on most metals.

It integrates the display and a patented mechanism in one device where the impact body type D is launched and loaded for the next test in a single motion!

The Piccolo is designed and manufactured with the quality and precision that is expected from Proceq's Equotip product family and will comply even with the roughest manufacturing environments.

The basic kit comes with the bundle of the Piccolo device and Piccolink PC software, permitting full communication between tester and PC via USB.

Proceq has combined today's technology with its over 35 years of Equotip know-how and customer feedback to create the Equotip 3 - a portable instrument that offers extended capabilities and unmatched ease of operation.
