Here are a few of the most important factors to consider to ensure an accurate conclusion from a hardness test.

• External factors such as light, dirt, vibrations, temperature, and humidity should be controlled
• The tester and stage should be secured on a solid horizontal table, and the sample should be clamped or held in a holder or anvil
• The indenter should be perpendicular to the tested surface.
• Illumination settings should be constant during the test when using Vickers, Knoop, or Brinell

Manually Operated Hardness has many features and functions. The high gloss and scratch resistant surface on this unit will keep it looking new for many years. The dial gauge can read the hardness value directly, which makes it resistant to minor damages. The indicator has a sensitive response and is accurate in displaying the hardness value. The loading wheel is easy to adjust with the three loading test forces based on the hardness scale. This model does not require electrical power. To obtain your personal quote, click here.
