Rockwell Hardness Testing Machine is a device that can measure how hard a material is
by applying a force/load on an indenter and observing the depth of the resulting indentation.
This method is based on the standards of ISO 6508 & ASTM E-18, and it is one of the most
convenient and fast ways to test hardness.
If you are looking for the best nose-type hardness testing machines in the market, look no
further than the INNOVATEST HAWK series. These machines have a unique design that allows
them to test hardness inside objects and on large diameter samples. They are equipped with
the latest technology and features that will make your testing experience easy and accurate.
INNOVATEST FALCON Vickers hardness testing machines are ideal for microhardness, macrohardness, Brinell, and Knoop hardness testing. The machines use a diamond indenter to create a square-based pyramid-shaped indentation in the test material, and the hardness is calculated from the size of the indentation.
Brinell hardness test method is most commonly used to test materials that have a structure that is too coarse or that have a surface that is too rough to be tested using another test method, e.g., castings and forgings. Brinell testing often use a very high test load (3000 Kgf) and a 10mm ball indenter so that the resulting indentation averages out most surface and sub-surface inconsistencies.
Universal hardness testers are versatile instruments that can be used to perform Rockwell,
Vickers, Micro Vickers, Knoop, and Brinell hardness tests. This means that you can use a single
machine to test a wide range of materials.
Universal hardness testers are designed to meet the relevant ISO, ASTM, and JIS standards, so
you can be confident that your results are accurate. They also do not convert hardness values,
but conduct tests according to standard procedures. This ensures that your results are consistent
and repeatable.
