Features
• Solid framework
• Easy to operate
• Tolerance is controlled by a shear pin
• Three types of application: bench, C clamp and hammer impact
• Suitable for assemblies inconvenient to be taken to the
lab and not allowed to be cut
• Accuracy is much higher than any other type hammer impact tester
• Used to test the hardness of forgings, castings, steels, nonferrous metal
and its alloy products, and to test the hardness of annealed, normalizing
and tempered mechanical parts
Features
• The test head can be fixed to the surface of iron and steel components by
magnetic force. Support to the test piece is not required as the 350kg+
magnetic base will hold the unit firmly in position
• The testing accuracy complies to ISO 6508 or ASTM E18 and is comparable
to a Rockwell bench hardness tester
• Testing can be done regardless of the shape of the component as long as
there is a flat surface for positioning of the magnetic base
• Able to test large-size workpieces which are assembled, unable to cut or
inconvenient to move such as large-size moulds, steel plates, steel tubes, steel
structures, pressure vessels, metallic pipe lines or the slide ways of machine tools
Optional Accessories
• Rockwell indenters
• Rockwell balls
Portable Brinell Hardness Tester
The HB1500 Portable Brinell Hardness Tester is designed following the Brinell hardness test method. The test force is controlled by a shear
pin. After reading the diameter of the indention with the reading microscope, the brinell hardness number can be obtained.
Magnetic base hardness tester designed according to the principle of Rockwell hardness testing.
