Metal Hardness Tester

The new rugged hardness tester.

Metal hardness tester.

The rockwell test measuring the depth of penetration of an indenter under a large load major load compared to the penetration made by a preload minor load. Brinell testers help you accurately test steel parts such as castings and forgings. Pht 2100 the pht 2100 can perform tests that easily convert to the most popular hardness scales including rockwell brinell vickers shore etc. 1 16 of 256 results for metal hardness tester vtsyiqi leeb hardness tester meter 170 to 960 hld metals durometer tester hl hb hrb hrc hra hv hs with standard d type impact device d test block for aluminum steel iron bronze copper 10 materials.

State of the art digital portable hardness tester is designed to test the hardness of large hard metal parts. There are different scales denoted by a single letter that use different loads or indenters. Plastics wood macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by strong intermolecular bonds but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex. Metals are harder than others e g.

It is defined as the resistance to indentation and it is determined by measuring the permanent depth of the indentation. Hardness is a characteristic of a material not a fundamental physical property. Hardness is a measure of the resistance to localized plastic deformation induced by either mechanical indentation or abrasion some materials e g. A steel ball will make an impression.

To use slide a test bar into the tester place the tester on your surface and hit with a hammer. Determine the hardness of very hard steel. Measure the impression with the 20x microscope and use the computing disc to determine hardness. 4 6 out of 5 stars 7.
